Dolphin quit on me a while back, so I started using "Files". It shows thumbnails and you can choose which program to open them with (GIMP, Inscape, etc.). Only problem, you have to manually switch back to your default viewer.

Yes, you can do that with XnView MP, which besides being an image viewer with ediing ability, is also a file manager. You can put the "preview" image on the side or at the bottom.

The point of the sentence is "is also a file manager..." I am a retired software programmer, I know from 50+ years of experience a simple fact - when designing a software package for a specific job, trying to twist it after that to "also" do something else is not producing a good result.
A Graphics / image handling can and will never provide the top functionality available in a good file manager...

You might consider taking it for a "test drive" before writing it off. It does everything i need from a file manager. It is just a matter of tweaking it until it fits your needs.

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Here I gave up: too much hassle. Ok, it started after one additional step:
Ah, now I see. I should have started it via the shell script, xnview.sh. I was hoping to ditch the lib/ directory and use system libraries instead, thus started to muck about with the binary. Unfortunately, CentOS 8 uses Qt 5.12 while XnView requires Qt 5.15 since version 0.97.0.
