This is very wierd.  I open Qimage.  I go to a folder I have edited before.  All of the images have .flt files.  But the thumbs wont show up for some of the images - just the Q logo.  And Qimage hangs - and wont do anything - I just have to abort it.  The only thing unique about any of these images is that I used Qimage to make filtered copies which are in another folder - something I do all the time. In fact, other images in that folder that had the same thing done are showing up fine.  This is pretty repeatable for these images. I even deleted the .flt files thinking maybe they had become corrupt somehow.  Didn't matter.  The JPG files are exactly as they were wehn downloaded - haven't been resaved since then. I am running Windows XP and am up to date on everything.

I tired that and it didn't work - but it did solve the problem.  When I did that, Qimage hung (hourglass) and after about two minutes aborted itself with the "Qimage has encountered a problem and has to close . . . . " etc.  Then when I restarted Qimage,and went back to that folder - viola -.  This has happened now in three different folders over the past two weeks.  Never had this before.  Each time, I have solved the problem through some unnatural act. (so to speak) but always involving copying everything to a new folder and trying to rebuild the thumbs.  Today even that didn't work (after a few tries) but then I left the room for a few minutes and when I came back, Qimage had aborted itself. Huh?? Anyway - thanks for the quick response Fred.

Don't think so - else it would still be corrupt - but it hasn't changed at all, only now Qimage behaves normally (after crashing on its own).  Anyway, Qimage used to warn me if I had a bad Jpeg or corrupt file.  Anyway, I don't really care - I can almost always work around the one or two little idiosyncrasies that I occasionally find either in Qimage or myself.
