You can deactivate Show 4 thumbnails in folder's thumbnail (instead of 1) in Tools » Options... » Thumbnails » Appearance.

Thanks, but I want to to keep 4 thumbs. The problem is 2 of the thumbs are for pictures I've moved to another folder. Is there any way to update the thumbs for folders?XnTriq wrote:You can deactivate Show 4 thumbnails in folder's thumbnail (instead of 1) in Tools » Options... » Thumbnails » Appearance.

Have you given View » Rebuild thumbnails a try?
Re: How to change folder preview thumbs?
Yes, I have. No luck there.
Re: How to change folder preview thumbs?
This seems to be a known issue
(I never ran into the problem myself, because I don't use the cache.)

- "Rebuild thumbnail"-suggestion
- Folder thumbnails are not always automatically updated
- Folder thumbnails won't refresh
- Folder as thumbnail problem
Re: How to change folder preview thumbs?
Yes, Auto Refresh is enabled.

I had to manually remove the appropriate folders from the cache database, which also removed thumbs for any images in the same directory as the folders meaning I had to go back to those folders and re-create the image thumbs. A bit of a pain but only for already created thumbs on folders, newly created folders with images in won't be a problem!
Re: How to change folder preview thumbs?
Back to the original post suggestion: is it possible to customize the folder by changing its thumbnail with another picture? The popular viewer QuickPic for Android has such a feature (called "Change Cover" in the folder's settings).
