Just as now you can mark files in dired to display thumbnails in
a separate window, you can mark files in dired to display their
thumbnails in the same dired buffer with a simple piece of code:

(dired-map-over-marks
 (put-image (create-image (my-make-thumbnail (dired-get-filename t)))
            (dired-move-to-filename)) nil)

where `my-make-thumbnail' is a function I posted earlier for creating
thumbnails according to the Thumbnail Managing Standard.
