Excuse me for not following correctly. but I still do not understand. I can find no previous thumb file in those files to replace. they have only bmp files.

All of the WitP art uses the .bmp format. Where did you get the new ship files? Are you talking about the database file called Thumbs included in Tankeraces ship art mods? If so it is not needed for the mods to work. I think he uses it to organize his mods and included it by mistake.

The Thumbs.db is a Windows XP function, has nothing to do with the game. You can adjust the defaults for the directory to actually show the artwork in the files instead of little icons.
