This is a powerful activex control, with a fully customizable interface.

You can set the thumbnail's width and height, and the borders style for its body and label. The distance between the thumbnails can also be set.

Tooltips can be enabled for each thumbnail and the types and attributes of the image files that the control will show are customizable.

The enhanced version (4.0 or newer) of the control, additionally supports:

	Selectivity of files The control now, provides three methods for specifying items that will display thumbnails for - by setting the Path property - by setting the FilesList property - by using the Thumbs.Add method
	Multiple items selection The user may select items by clicking and dragging the mouse over them, exactly as in Explorer.
	Drag and drop functionality Full drag and drop functionality is supported. Items can be dragged from the control and dropped in any target that can accept files, and files can be dropped into the control. Thumbnailer will automatically copy or move the files to the current Path.
	Add, remove or rename, items and files Items may be added into the collection, on the fly, as well as they can be renamed or deleted. If you wish, Thumbnailer will also rename or remove the corresponding files from the system.
	Six types of sorting Displayed thumbnails, can be sorted in six different ways: by Name, by Type, by Size, by Date, by Dimensions or by Extension.
	File information Thumbnailer can extract useful information from the processed files, by demand. The following info may be extracted: file size, file type, date the file was last modified, image dimensions and file extension.
	Export items Thumbnails can be exported as bitmap files to a specified directory.
