Andrew, thank you for replying.

Ya i tried that but it's to much work, i'd like to just throw in an image, and get the thumbnails without having to start up a
3rd party software and build an icon for the folder, or to get info on both and copy paste...
an having to redo everything if i decide to change the images on a folder or many at a time...
I guess i'm a little lazy ... :)


but, if you have an automated way of doing this that does not include folder actions or automator, i'm all ears ! :)

Last but not least, thank you very much for the precisions!

I'm looking for information on designing a plugin for the finder.
I would like for the finder to display a scaled image instead of the "folder" icon
when a file inside the folder is named the same as the folder or like in windows "folder.jpg"

There's no supported way to do that - the Finder doesn't have a plugin architecture, and the existing thumbnails appear to be generated internally. There are, however, ways to set folder icons without modifying the Finder.
