I lost all my thumbnails in Photos when I was still on High Sierra. The update to Catalina has left me without thumbnails still. I go to the View menu, and the option for Show Thumbnails is gray. This is true for my three photo libraries. I have tried rotating a couple of images, but to no avail. I have done a lot of online searching, but again, no avail. Any help would be appreciated, as I am constantly working with a lot of photos.
What general view are you in when you are trying to view thumbnails? The 'View Thumbnails' command is not available unless you are looking at an enlarged picture, then it refers to the strip of pictures along the bottom of the screen under the full-screen picture. If they are already visible, the command changes to 'Hide Thumbnails'.
If you are looking at the grid of pictures in, say, the Photos | All Photos view, they are the thumbnails, so I don't follow what you mean when you say you have none.

I get it. That isn't how it used to be (a long time ago) Now I understand how it works.
Not the best outcome, but it's what is available.
Thank you
