Hi Mark,
We used to have a thumbnail preview in the image dialog file chooser
but with large images it was causing memory leaks and
OutOfMemoryExceptions. We didn't have any complaints when it was
removed so we didn't think anyone cared about it that much. I didn't
even consider it when you requested thumbnail view, I thought you
wanted the windows-style thumbnail in every icon :)
I'll add a feature request to restore it.
Regards,
Andy
