as per subject, I'm looking for an explorer replacement to manage PDF
files, moving/copying between folders

the default thumbnail view is not enough to show the content

the idea is a three-pane explorer, like in recent windows: the folder tree, the folder content and the pdocument preview

any suggestion?

TIA

thank you

I used good old powertoys tweakui to increase to the maximim size, 256
pixels

that's not yet enough, for sure a windows pane with readable preview, like
in w7/8/10 is the proper solution

Assuming you enabled display of the preview pane in Windows Explorer,
why can't you drag its left-side border to increase its width? Hover
the mouse cursor over the left vertical border of the preview pane until
the cursor turns into a doubled horizontal arrow then click and drag.
With Windows Explorer and with its preview pane expanded to occupy half
the screen, you can click on a .pdf file and read it in the preview pane
very easily without having to double-click the file to load it into a
PDF viewer program.

I haven't been on Windows XP for many years so I wasn't sure if its
Windows Explorer had a preview pane. So I searched online using:

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22windows+xp%22+preview+pane+size

and found as the 2nd article:

https://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us /nwspr_customize_preview_pane.mspx

If you don't want to use the preview pane then increase the size of the thumbnails. In the above Google search, the following was the 1st
article:

You mentioned in your original post .pdf files. Would I be right in
thinking that in effect you want a _viewer_, e. g. that can show more
than the firs page in the case of .pdf files rather than just a
thumbnail (of the first page) however large? Like perhaps email
software, with a "preview pane" option (as most email softwares have)?

after all the scans she goes back to her desktop and starts renaming and moving items fron the shared scan folder to proper destination directories, renaming with "intelligent" names

but she still has a Win XP machine :(

the first page is enough, no need to read page two or three

thumbnails, even set at 256 pixel, are not clear enough to read i.e. the invoice number or the product code

The solution is simple :-) With a big marker pen,
write the name of the document on a separate
sheet of blank paper, and put it in front of the
first sheet of the document to be scanned. It
will function as the "name" sheet. If the
letters are large enough, they can be read
in the thumbnail view.
