When I type M-x thumbs-dired-show-marked I just get empty squares displayed four rows wide. I marked six images and I got one row of four squares and a second row of two squares, all blank. I have tried M-x thumbs before and got similar results (namely, a block of sixteen empty boxes). I have also added the ImageMagick directory to the exec-path variable via a customization window, but unfortunately it did not help. Thanks for your attention. -- Allan
