The Thumbnails control is not available unless this option is selected.

Selecting photos in the Grid view and the Filmstrip
You select photos in the Grid view that you want to work with in the Library or other modules. The photos you select
are reflected in the Filmstrip. Likewise, the specific photos selected in the Filmstrip are displayed in the Grid view.
When you select a photo, it becomes the active photo. You can select multiple photos, but only one photo at a time is
the active photo. Selected photos are indicated in the grid and the Filmstrip by a thin white border and a cell color that
is lighter than unselected photos. The lightest colored cell indicates the active photo.
