?48x48 icons in thumbnailmode are not sharp

I will check what's wrong with the shared folder - there is a 32x32 icon, and it should be used for larger icons too.

I found an (IMO important) usecase to show smaller icons without scaling.
When I want to compare icons of different sizes, this is what TC shows me:

Instead it would be very convenient to show this:

Could you please consider it?

Side note: The Icon 7 (see image) of the WCMICONS48.DLL is wrong in 48x48 version. ("A." and "Z." instead of ".A" and ".Z")

It would make sense for .ico files, but not for associated files...

Confirmed, thanks!

I would like to have it implemented for *.ico only.
However I would still love to have an hidden option for associated files. (Explorer does not scale them, they look blurry and bad to me)

Thank you it is fine now.

Could you please please consider using the biggest icon of an *.ico file? I don't want to open Explorer for this. It would be great.

I just found out that "ThumbIconSize=64" has several issues: (see image below - most of the effects are present at "ThumbIconSize=49" or more - also for "ThumbIconSize=128")
#1) The overlay icons are drawn twice. (see folder "Folder" - there is a small green dot above the big green dot)
#2) TC does not use the 64x64 Icons, instead it scales the 48x48 versions up to 64x64. (see file "Archive2.zip" - could provide reference from explorer)
#3) Icons (*.ico) are scaled down to 12x12. (see file "7.ico")
#4) There is much more flickering when activating thumbnailview than there is with "ThumbIconSize=48"

Thumbiconsize=64 is currently not supported. I will consider it for a future release.

Regading icons, this isn't so easy because TC uses a single imagelist for all thumbnail icons, and a second one for file list icons.

It should default to 48x48 for anything bigger than 48x48 then.

Do I get this right:
- imagelist for all thumbnail icons: does no scaling
- imagelist for file list icons: the icons are scaled to ThumbIconSize

Perhaps you could draw the biggest icon of a *.ico file on the imagelist for thumbnails (centered), instead of adding it to the image list of file list icons.
