That is splendidly silly, for people like me who never grew up :-)
However, the webpage's documentation needs updating: Twirl seems to
have got DogGlass's information.

It seems to work but here, on large picture files it makes little sense

The thumbnail cache is flushed when the filer window is closed, so thet
reopening the window causes the images to be thumbnailed, ab initio. Not
very helpful.

Simon,
Image cacheing is configurable from the Filer Configure window in RISC
OS 6.16. I can't remember what version this was introduced in. Have you
experiemented with those settings? Can't say I've particularly needed to,
but they're there if you want to.

However, where photos are concerned I still find it worthwhile using
something else instead (e.g. Thump) due to the OS's lack of thumbnail
caching and the time taken to create them.

The filer is in RISC OS 4.39 or later has thumbnail support built in.
This has been further improved in RISC OS 6.

That wasn't a question: the filer in RISC OS 4 and 6 after 4.02 has
thumbnail support built in.

Thanks. I had misconstrued Roger's reference to Templates. I've
now made an adjustment as he wished to do.

Yours was an interesting exercise. I first tried (in VRPC) with a

In email, I've duly supplied Ian with a sample Turbodriver printout
and he's hoping, once the pressure of time permits, to analyse it and
kindly provide a Turbodrivers option for an updated version of his
!PrintSpool.
That would be a splendid outcome.
