SageThumbs is a powerful shell extension allowing to preview enormous amount of image formats directly in Windows Explorer by using Pierre-e Gougelet's GFL library (XnView's author).

Please read carefully the following information:

As SageThumbs is a Windows Explorer context menu extension, there is no an executable file that you should launch to bring it up. To use it, just open any folder with image files in Windows Explorer, and then right-click a file you want to preview. You'll see the thumbnail immediately in the context menu.

System Requirements:

* Windows XP/2003/Vista/2008/7/2012/8/8.1 32/64-bit
* About 5 Mb of disk space + additional space for cache

    Abandoned since 2017. Does not support JPEG 2000.

    Works great for viewing HDR thumbnails, though would be nice for it to support EXR.

    Doesn't work with GIMP. Tried using its repair utility, same result.

    Hasn't been actively supported in years. Current version is 2.0.0.23 from 2017. Doesn't support WebP format. Overall a mediocre app that is past its prime.
