Actually, I've given you just about all the information I have... Some of the time there is "no thumbnail at all"--just precisely as I've said it. There's a space where a thumbnail should be, but nothing there. I'm not sure how much more I can tell you there. Some of the time, the thumbnail is "just plain wrong"--again, just as I've said it. There's a thumbnail there, it's some document, but not the document it's supposed to represent. And, it's small enough that I can't see enough detail to tell what it actually is. So, I'm not sure what else I can say there either. Finally, sometimes it's the right thumbnail--that's straightforward enough. If there are other details you want, I'm happy to provide them, but as it is, this is as precise a description as I can possibly give. As fir Mac version and a sample file, I'll send that along as soon as I'm home. It's 10.6.x, at least. I'll try and put together a sample then, as well. Also, all docs are autofiled in a year/author directory structure. Thanks, again. > >>> >>> The thumbnails are generated dynamically, typically when you change >>> selection in BibDesk.
