Overview

When active this plugin adds a column to the All Posts/All Pages and where supported the All Custom Post Type admin views. This column, “Thumb”, will display a thumbnail of the featured image
or post thumbnail so you can easily determine the content that is missing an image.

You can also make inline edits that allow you to change the thumb/image from the All Posts/All Pages/All Custom Post Type view without having to edit the post.

Now the plugin is translatable. Using tools such as Poedit along with localized / international versions of WordPress, FIAT can display user supplied translations of its text.

Great plugin!

Good job. Allows me to easily see which posts have a featured image or not in the admin screen. The “Set featured image” link for posts that don’t – is a real time saver. Well done!

P.S. Bonus would be if you could choose the column to display “Thumb” as it would be nice in the first or third column of the admin screen.

Very useful !
