Hi,

I have a folder of HDRI's but they don't have thumbnails. Does anyone know an easy way to generate thumbnails for them? I was thinking a photoshop action?

I use this and it's never let me down...

It's less than $10 which is extremely cheap in my opinion.

It also allows you to preview Adobe Photoshop thumbnails wjhich is sometimes handy

If you use Blender I just stumbled upon this addon which is a lighting addon but will also catalogue and generate thumbnails of your HDRI's. Not sure if it works with Octane Blender but may be useful just for the thumbnail feature alone ($20).
