"Get from Irfan-/Xnview for:" - work only for *.bmp files. (Xnview is installed)
Are the files correctly displayed in Lister?
If yes, they should work as thumbnails, too.

If they are shown in Lister but not in Thumbnails, try disabling the thumbnail database (by clearing the path to it).

If they are not shown in Lister try adding IviewAdditionalTypes=*.jpg to wincmd.ini under [Lister] (see also Help, section 4b.)

Hacker I understand!

Imagine 0.9.0.0 not support thumbnails so "Get from Lister plugins for:" - not work.

"Use Explorer method (OLE2) for:" - not work, becouse Windows NT 4.0 not support this method.

"Get from Irfan-/Xnview for:" - work only for *.bmp files, becouse I don't use Xnview with Total Commander and option "Use Irfanview/Xnview to load graphics other than BMP" is disable.

Thank you.

Bitmap files (BMP) will be handled internally by Total Commander when the Irfanview method is enabled.

Enable option "Use Irfanview/Xnview to load graphics other than BMP", enter the path to xnview.exe in the field below, then uncheck the option again. When the path is set, then XnView works for thumbnails.

I have written a special plugin especially for large jpg files called jpegthumbs. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to release it yet, but you can get it here:

Plugin:
https://plugins.ghisler.com/lsplugins/jpegthumbs.zip

Source code:
https://plugins.ghisler.com/lsplugins/jpegthumbs_src.zip

The special of this plugin is that it doesn't load the entire jpg file into memory, but only a few lines at a time.

Why don't you hardcode this Christian inside TC and make a configuration setting to activate/deactivate it? With
the always increasingly megapixel digital cameras nowadays, large jpegs is becoming a standard and not the exception
to the rule.

Well, I can give you dozens of TC features that could follow these schemes but are hardcoded! ;) :P

Yes we should reconsider some hardcoded features if they should better be replaced by a "framework" behavior.
