Probably...

No, not at all, unfortunately.

But i found a workaround! :-)

I place a white grc at the lowest layer and at the topleft of that 
group!

Now i can place every image where i want :-)

But i MUST re"set the loc of img 1 of grp "bilder" to the loc of grc 1 
of grp "bilder" every time
or with every new "filling" of that group the first image shifts "one 
image"...?

Means, if i set a folder to create the preview the first time, the 
first image appears at
the loc if image 2... (My preview is set to 5 images in a row)

Next time the first image appears at the loc of image 3 etc...?

VERY strange indeed...
