Thank you Drew, I tried your suggestions.

Yeah in a way this is true, but what I had in mind was a bit of lisp
code that would allow me to press 'n' (or SPC) on an image and then
see the next one, 'p' would get me the previous one.

Hmm, I tried to use icicles, but it seems to fight with ido, which I
am using. If they can't figure it out, I am with ido.  But at the
moment, I am not sure this is the route I want to take.

I also looked at image-dired, but that seems to be a different use
case.  If there was a way to make the thumbnails larger, it might be
useful in some ways, but not for my main purpose.

All the best,
