[solved] TC 9.5b4 - Wrong default value for ThumbIconSize in Help

Post by *petermad »

Help:
ThumbIconSize=32 Size of the icons in mode "Thumbnails"
But the default size when the parameter is not present is 48

Which corresponds to this:
History.txt:
28.04.15 Added: Use 48x48 icons by default in thumbs mode on Vista or newer (32/64)

Well, I would have to leave the field empty because neither value is valid for all Windows versions. Therefore I will keep it as it is now because 58 would be equally wrong.

Well, currently all XXI century desktop Windows from NT family are in more common use than Windows Vista: Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows XP and even Windows 8. See statistics:

I wrote Vista or newer - I don't see how that is not in accordance with that statistic?

You can leave the current default value in help, but also add explanation that it varies depending on Windows version:
ThumbIconSize=32 Size of the icons in mode "Thumbnails". Default value depends on Windows version.
Next to this you can list the default values and Windows versions where they are used.

Usage statistics show order which isn't based on first release time. It means that "Something or newer" is more like propaganda rather than a good measure of common use.

That's a good point - isn't Vista also out of service now?
