This is a exemple for a picture file :
Image:

And maybe for MP3 file. Total Commander use for Thumbnail a "folder.jpg" file on the directory.

Such a layout in the lister would be very useful to me.

I would like that too.
Currently I don't use the thumbnail mode very often, because it has a completely different layout than the standard mode. I have to set very big thumbnail size so I can see files' full names. Also, there is a different cursor navigation, not really compatible with my preferred SpecialCursorMovement=2.
This kind of layout would suit my needs much better.

That's actually what the Android version does. Unfortunately it's not possible on Windows to create a listbox where the height of a line changes. Therefore all the lines would have to use the larger height for the images.

I would actually prefer it that way.

ghisler(Author),
Currently thumb mode uses same height too, so it is not a problem at all.

Of course all lines must have the same height. It's absolutely distracting to have different line heights.

Please try the following:
Code: Select all
unit Unit1;
interface
uses
Classes, Controls, Forms, StdCtrls;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
ListBox1: TListBox;
procedure FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
procedure ListBox1MeasureItem(Control: TWinControl; Index: Integer; var Height: Integer);
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.DFM}
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
{You may set this also in the Property Editor}
ListBox1.Style:=lbOwnerDrawVariable;
ListBox1.OnMeasureItem:=ListBox1MeasureItem;
ListBox1.Items.Add('aaa');
ListBox1.Items.Add('bbb');
ListBox1.Items.Add('ccc');
ListBox1.Items.Add('ddd');
ListBox1.Items.Add('eee');
end;
procedure TForm1.ListBox1MeasureItem(Control: TWinControl; Index: Integer; var Height: Integer);
begin
Height:=10+Random(50);
end;
end.

I agree, all line heights should be the same.

This in my opinion would be a very useful feature. Also I vote for mp3 files to be supported in this way.

What do you mean? The only thing that comes to my mind is an embedded album image. Does Explorer show them as thumbnails? (I don't know, 'cause I don't have such files.)

Not necessarily with the pictures (of embedded album images) but it would be nice if pictures could be included. Primarily I meant the native support of mp3, flac, ogg. And to be presented in the similar way as Crisis presented above.
