Printing out thumbnails

[Spin]

Gurus,

I have a folder full of .jpg files. In Windows Explorer view, selecting
thumbnails, I can get an idea of what each picture looks like. How can I
print these thumbnails out exactly the way they appear on the screen Windows
Explorer? Because when I select them all and copy them into Microsoft Word,
what happens is each thumbnail gets really big and each takes up one entire
page, so I have a 50-page document to scroll through. Is there a better
way?

You could do a print screen [alt] + [print screen]. You can resize the
images from within Word, too.

Thanks. How can I resize all pictures at once, within Word?

Select the picture and Drag the corners with the mouse. Look for a
double-arrow mouse pointer.

Thanks, but that will only do one picture at a time.

Google for software that creates thumbnails of directories, I think Paint
shop pro, or Photoshop might do it.

You want professional photo editing functionality from software not designed
to do it.

You may want to try out a free picture viewer application called Irfanview.
It has many options including thumbnail manipulation and best of all, it's
free.

for %A in (*.jpg) do echo ^<img src="%~dpnxA" height=50px^> >>"%userprofile%\desktop\thumbs.htm"

Type the above in a command prompt. A html file appears on the desktop with thumbnails in it. Either change directories or specify the path, eg

for %A in ("%userprofile%\my documents\my pictures\*.jpg") do echo ^<img src="%~dpnxA" height=50px^> >>"%userprofile%\desktop\thumbs.htm"

or

for %A in ("C:\somefolder\*.jpg") do echo ^<img src="%~dpnxA" height=50px^> >>"%userprofile%\desktop\thumbs.htm"

use jp*g to do both jpg and jpeg

Then open the file and print it.

Also if you click Print in Common Tasks in a Picture folder the Photo Printing Wizard can also do thumbnails.

Worked! Is there any way I can put the file name under each picture?

Yes but is more work than a pithy one liner. What is wrong with the photo printing wizard. Also that one liner is somewhat memory intensive. On my machine the wizard takes 10 secs to show thumbnails compared to a 1/2 hour using IE (800 x 2 MB photos).

This means the computer appears crashed for a 1/2 hour (windows can't tell if a program is crashed or not, it guesses by monitoring the program access to messages windows has sent it, if it doesn't read a message in 60 seconds windows guesses the program has crashed, if a program then does takes it's messages then windows will change the status to not crashed. The program is unaffected by what windows thinks of it's status. The only thing that happens is windows will offer to terminate the program, choose No and the program continues running.)
