Do you hate not being able to view all your screenshots and portrait files as thumbnails in your Windows Explorer?

Until now, I had to open each one, a file at a time, in my Paint.net!

Well, you can now browse thumbnails of any .tga file by downloading and installing the DirectX SDK(software development kit)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downloa ... px?id=6812

Installation notes:
if you already have Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redist x64 and/or x86 installed on your computer, you will have to uninstall them first, and then after installing the SDK, go back to microsoft and re-download and install the C++ files

After everything's finished, you won't be prompted to restart your computer, but you'll need to in order to see the .tga files.

enjoy!
