@section Convenience Features for Finding Files
In this section, we introduce some convenient facilities for finding
recently-opened files, reading file names from a buffer, and viewing
image files.

When Auto-image-file minor mode is enabled, visiting an image file
displays it as an image, not as text. Likewise, inserting an image
file into a buffer inserts it as an image. This works only when Emacs
can display the relevant image type. The variables
@code{image-file-name-extensions} or @code{image-file-name-regexps}
control which file names are recognized as containing images.
The @kbd{M-x ffap} command generalizes @code{find-file} with more
powerful heuristic defaults (@pxref{FFAP}), often based on the text at
point. Partial Completion mode offers other features extending
@code{find-file}, which can be used with @code{ffap}.

Thumbs mode is a major mode for viewing directories containing many
image files. To use it, type @kbd{M-x thumbs} and specify the
directory to view. The images in that directory will be displayed in
a @samp{Thumbs} buffer as @dfn{thumbnails}; type @kbd{RET} on a
thumbnail to view the full-size image. Thumbs mode requires the
@file{convert} program, which is part of the ImageMagick software
package.
