1297165 2012-08-27 02:00:00 Hi guys and hoping you can help, again.
been looking through out Photos folder and it's almost 48 GB's, rather large..:help:
Was wondering if anyone knew of a freeware program that can search all the folders, for photos etc and display like thumbnails.
What I'm thinking is that we have multiple's.

Ian:thanks

1297166 2012-08-27 02:04:00 Tried Picasa? wratterus (105)
1297167 2012-08-27 02:08:00 Not herad of Picasa.
I can recall, I think, a program that scanners the whole computer and does the thumbnail thing.
I think the police use it...

Been using Irfanview, for years and didn't know that.
Any idea how?

1297171 2012-08-27 02:32:00 Can't help there I haven't used it in years.
I use Adobe Bridge myself but you wanted freeware...

Last time I installed Irfanview it also installed Irfanview thumbnails as a separate shortcut, that is where I would start.

1297172 2012-08-27 02:51:00 Yep, start Irfanview thumbnails, it shows directories on the left pane, click the folder your pics are in then go to options and click on Load thumbs from all subdirectories. KarameaDave (15222)
1297173 2012-08-27 03:17:00 Well be very slow work going thru 48Gb of files......Why not use a duplicate file finder...

www.funduc.com

It reads the binary so it doesn't matter what the file name is!....
