Abstract
File exploration is facilitated by enabling zoom with respect to a thumbnail based on an identified point of interest. More particularly, a scaled thumbnail of the same size as a thumbnail can be generated and presented based on an identified point of interest. In one instance, a scaled thumbnail can be generated automatically by repositioning an image based on a point of interest and applying a scaling factor to the image behind a fixed clipping mask of the same size as the thumbnail. Furthermore, navigation, among other things, is enabled to allow panning with respect to a scaled thumbnail.
