Just wondering if this behavior could be altered to respond similarly to Finder which displays the first page of the PDF file? I'm running the latest version of Tiger, 10.4.11 and iLeopard 2.423.

When I built it I tried what you suggest and in many cases the thumbnail of the PDF file was meaningless so I opted for simply displaying the generic PDF icon. I will have another look at it.

Hi Keith,
Like Tom, I also would love to see the first page image of a PDF file added into " Pictures" . I find it a little frustrating not being able to see at a glance what the file is. I could be wrong, but I am sure this worked prior to the last upgrade to the latest version, but after the upgrade any new PDF's added just showed the PDF icon. Before that, I got the PDF images (eg Marriage Certificate) to display as the certificate and not the PDF icon.
Also I hope you haven't forgotten the upgrade to " Last Change" . D

Hi Keith again!
I have just been reading the " What's New in V2.456 and see that you have already changed PDF files to use the same thumbnail as is displayed in Finder in the new version. Thank You! Thank You! You are very efficient and I should have read it first!! I shall eagerly look forward to it.
But please.....don't forget the " Last Change" date.

Thumbnails for PDF files
PDF files now (once again) use the same thumbnail as is displayed in Finder.
Hint: If you have existing PDF images in iFamily and you want them to be converted to the Finder PDF Image style of thumbnail then open the Picture Editor and click on any of the thumbnail properties or the button labelled " Defaults" .
