Thanks everyone for your help...unfortunately at the moment it seems like its not going to happen....
Irfanview (I have the formats plugin etc) XnView & SageThumbs do not give me .xcf thumbnail....Irfanview & XnView tell me they can't handle the file & SageThumbs just gives me a black square....
The problem seems to be that I am using Gimp 2.10....XnView had identified the V2.10 problem in May, but it hasn't been fixed yet....
I appreciate all the suggestions but the world will eventually catch up with V2.10...

Hi FlutteringBy, I'm going to explain why you see a black square: I will give you a tip on how you can se the Thumbnails with SageThumb.
After you are done making a project with Gimp:
1. Select the very Top layer in the Layer's dialog, Right click the layer and select the option "New from Visible", so all the layers with the effects will consolidate into One layer.
2. Save your work (as XCF) and that it. You should be able to see the Thumbnail XCF. This is how it looks in Windows 10
