Hi,  
Is there a way to display or show the thumbnails or previews of all the files within the folder as displayed in the image. As you can see it only display the pdf document, but inside of it, it has several images.

There is no way in the current Listary.  
It’s a function of Explorer, most 3rd party file managers  
and Everything search tool.

Thank you for your suggestion. Currently, Listary does not support previewing thumbnails of all files within a folder.

If we were to implement this feature in the future, it might need to be done in the file search window, as displaying thumbnails of all files in the launcher’s small window could be limited by design constraints.

However, this is a very valuable idea, and we will seriously consider adding this feature in the future.
