Description
### What's the Problem?
In Explorer, thumbnails have, or can be set to have, filtype-icons as overlays. This helps to discern a JPG from a PSD or afphoto etc. Also, videos and images or PDFs are hard to discern without any indication of the filetype.
In medium or large icon view, even the filenames are usually cut off so that the extensions are not visible, either.
### Solution/Idea
Have files show the filetype-icons as overlays the way Explorer does. (It is possible, that this is not native to explorer, but there is a setting in Sage Thumbs which leads to that kind of overlay)
### Alternatives
No alternative ideas
