There are often multiple files in one, as you say, but at least the Omicron (SCALA) and Nanonis files have one file per capture, though this may have multiple channels in the case of Nanonis. I often have multiple files open at once, for various reasons (mainly because most of the data is usually not very good, so I might collect maybe 20 files out of a crop of 1000). In this situation, it would be useful to be able to select multiple files at the preview stage, since certainly for a folder with 1000 files in it, the browser window takes a little time to open. It's just a convenience thing, it's not ruining my day. >> Some options for plane correction on thumbnails in the browser - if no >> options, then just line-by-line linear would make the thumbnails more >> accessible than they are at present. > > But then corrected and uncorrected data would look the same and some > data would be ruined.

Plane correcting the thumbnails rather than the data wouldn't take a great deal of time. And if it were an option, it could be turned off. Thanks again for your response.
