No replies ? I am a linux user and hoping that a Windows user comes along.
The desire for larger icons in the Gimp file browser list has been made before (I think several times) but as I understand it not possible in Windows with the Gimp GTK libraries.
XnView is still your best bet, I did try the Sage Thumbnails Extension but it is 5 years since the last update and it does not show the latest Gimp xcf format. XnView will step through the xcf layers and of course call Gimp to open an image. More than one program - alas yes.
For anyone interested, The legacy XnView and the XnShell extension installers are here: https://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=43830
And in Win10 / Gimp 2.10.32 might go like this, 50 second animation: https://i.imgur.com/Iqow2ma.mp4

Quote:I've also tried using XnView but that only seems capable of reading the top layer. And it would be nice to keep more things within just one program.
