@section Viewing Images as Thumbnails
@cindex thumbnails mode
@cindex thumbnails
Thumbnails is a facility for browsing image files. It provides viewing
the images either as thumbnails or in full size, either inside Emacs
or through an external viewer.
To enter Thumbnails, type @kbd{M-x thumbnails}. It prompts for a directory;
specify one that has images files. This creates thumbnails for all
the images in that directory, and displays them all in the ``thumbnail
buffer.'' This takes a long time if the directory contains many image
files, and it asks for confirmation if the number of image files
exceeds @code{thumbnails-show-all-from-dir-max-files}.
@kindex C-t d @r{(Thumbnails)}
@findex thumbnails-display-thumbs
You can also enter Thumbnails through Dired. Mark the image files you
want to look at, using @kbd{m} as usual, then type @kbd{C-t d}
(@code{thumbnails-display-thumbs}). This too creates and switches to
a buffer containing thumbnails, corresponding to the marked files.
With point in the thumbnail buffer, type @kbd{RET}
(@code{thumbnails-display-thumbnail-original-image}) to display a sized
version of it in another window. This sizes the image to fit the
window. Use the arrow keys to move around in the buffer. For easy
browsing, type @kbd{SPC} (@code{thumbnails-display-next-thumbnail-original})
to advance and display the next image. Typing @kbd{DEL}
(@code{thumbnails-display-previous-thumbnail-original}) backs up to the
previous thumbnail and displays that instead.
@vindex thumbnails-external-viewer
To view and the image in its original size, either provide a prefix
argument (@kbd{C-u}) before pressing @kbd{RET}, or type @kbd{C-@key{RET}}
(@code{thumbnails-thumbnail-display-external}) to display the image in an
external viewer. You must first configure
@code{thumbnails-external-viewer}.
You can delete images through Thumbnails also. Type @kbd{d}
(@code{thumbnails-flag-thumb-original-file}) to flag the image file for
deletion in the Dired buffer. You can also delete the thumbnail image
from the thumbnail buffer with @kbd{C-d} (@code{thumbnails-delete-char}).
More advanced features include @dfn{image tags}, which are metadata
used to categorize image files. The tags are stored in a plain text
file configured by @code{thumbnails-db-file}.
To tag image files, mark them in the dired buffer (you can also mark
files in Dired from the thumbnail buffer by typing @kbd{m}) and type
@kbd{C-t t} (@code{thumbnails-tag-files}). You will be prompted for a tag.
To mark files having a certain tag, type @kbd{C-t f}
(@code{thumbnails-mark-tagged-files}). After marking image files with a
certain tag, you can use @kbd{C-t d} to view them.
You can also tag a file directly from the thumbnail buffer by typing
@kbd{t t} and you can remove a tag by typing @kbd{t r}. There is also
a special ``tag'' called ``comment'' for each file (it is not a tag in
the exact same sense as the other tags, it is handled slightly
different). That is used to enter a comment or description about the
image. You comment a file from the thumbnail buffer by typing
@kbd{c}. You will be prompted for a comment. Type @kbd{C-t c} to add
a comment from Dired (@code{thumbnails-dired-comment-files}).
Thumbnails also provides simple image manipulation. In the thumbnail
buffer, type @kbd{L} to rotate the original image 90 degrees anti
clockwise, and @kbd{R} to rotate it 90 degrees clockwise. This
rotation is lossless, and uses an external utility called JpegTRAN.
