Also curious if there is a setting that allows me to enlarge the thumbnails in the Layer window. They're just too darn small for me and I can't tell which is which.
Thank you in advance for any tips and suggestions.
Recently I managed to figure out how to display .svg files as thumbnails in the windows file manager.
I shared this post:
https://www.gimp-forum.net/Thread-SVG-Ex...9#pid34259
For .xfc I don't know if this is possible. If so, I would also like to have access to this information.
As for enlarging thumbnails (and here I think you are talking about Gimp now, not Windows anymore):
In the layers dialog there is a small icon at the top right.
Click on this icon and the "Preview Size" option will appear.
Thank you so much for the second tip there, the Preview Size. I chose "Gigantic" and my eyes are much much happier now. Awesome!
Alas, the .svg previews for Windows doesn't really help my .xcf previews for Lubuntu, but definitely excited to have the in-GIMP layer previews a usable size.
Thank you!

I'm using Xubuntu which is also a minimalist desktop environment. XCF files show as icons of their correct content in the file manager which is thunar. On the desktop xcf files only have an icon of the Gimp Wilber mascot.
For me, I installed the scripts I mentioned before but am now getting only blanks...not even icons...for my .xcf files. It's actually worse now. Icons were showing up fine, but now it's just the filename with a big transparent nothing above it.
