Created attachment 94081 [details] Patch for "images" module Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.8 (Build 200912041610) Java: 1.6.0_15; Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 14.1-b02 System: Linux version 2.6.31-20-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; en_US (nb) Hi, I am very new to NetBeans. Good work, nice IDE! Sorry for my English... (Just messing with you, you rascals...) It would be nice to see a preview of a picture in the navigator view when some image fileobject is selected. It is especially handy for PHP (you work with images a lot there) but it is not PHP specific. Patch attached.

note: If the image is smaller than the navigator, there is no problem, if it is bigger, it is scaled to 90% of the size. Image is centered in navigator.
If you want, I can do some minor enhancements and I can improve the patch to also solve issue: Viewing the size of a GIF/JPEG image in the image (https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=168562)

Integrated into 'main-golden' Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main-golden/rev/449253c9a7bb User: Jan Peska <jpeska@netbeans.org> Log: Issue #180610 - Image preview in the navigator When image node is selected the thumbnail is shown in Navigator window
This fix doesn't appear to have made it into the 7.1 release, though it was working great in the nightly builds. Any chance this will get patched into the official 7.1 release?
Unfortunately this feature has been integrated after 7.1 feature freeze so it wont be a part of 7.1 official release, so I'm afraid that only way is to use Dev build.
