Features

MysticThumbs has a control panel and shell context menu function that allow adjustments to thumbnail generation settings as well as perform a number of other functions.

• Thumbnail generation for all thumbnail sizes and icons (icon, list, detail views).
• Preview images using the preview pane on Vista and Windows 7.
• Transparency support. For each file format you can define how MysticThumbs generates thumbnails:
    - No transparency
    - Transparent, so you see the folder/desktop behind the thumbnail
    - Checkboard, gives you a distinctive backdrop behind the thumbnail that shows the transparent or semi-transparent areas.
• Image viewer via View context menu for all supported and enabled image types.
    - Has it's own context menu functions to allow changing viewing options.
    - Shows information useful for artists.
    - Can be associated as the default file association for images for quick previewing.

• Scale Up - for small images allows the generation of full size thumbnails for thumbnails larger than the image.
• Thumbnail cache clear - to easily clear the entire thumbnail cache.
• Per image refresh - refresh the thumbnail of images if required.
