It's not a shortcoming of the IDE if the version of Delphi you have
doesn't
have a built-in component for the job. There are third-party Delphi
components
and libraries that can do things like this. If you have the budget for
buying
components, consider ImageLib or a comparable component suite. If you
have
a more modest budget, look into Envision and similar shareware components.
If you have the time but not the money, look for freeware components and
libraries. I know that gxExplorer (a freeware Explorer
replacement/enhancement,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gxexplorer
) will implement thumbnail
views
for each file in a directory, and the project has all source code
available.
