When you open the images, GIMP only show the detail view and it's not easy to find the image what I want at a glance.
How do you change it as grid view?

A solution is using the microsoft explorer to look at the images / photos and drag the photo to the left upper corner of gimp screen (on the Wilber area) :

Even better, the whole tools' box area works just fine (so no need to aim to a tiny row), thus allowing you to remove Wilber and get more real estate  Wink

   

If it's the first image, you can drop it directly in the canvas.

EDIT, just crossed my mind if you're interested to get more real estate (useful for lengthy Tool Options list):

Go to Edit ➤ Preferences a window opens Interface ➤ Toolbox un-tick Show GIMP logo (drag-n-drop target)

Another possibility is use a third-party image organiser/viewer application. This one is XnViewMP, which to be truthful is a bit overkill, there might be other lighter ones. One advantage is it shows Gimp .xcf thumbnails (of the baselayer). There is a an option to set up Gimp as a default editor and open from a menu, however 'drag-n-wish' also works.
