Thumbnail Feature Request

Post by *dbaugh »

I really love the thumbnail capability! Excellent work Christian! I have 2 requests :

1) Allow the user to configure the thumbnail database max cache size

2) Allow the user to configure a list of directories that should be viewed using the "Thumbnail view" mode. For example, I specify that C:\Pictures and C:\More_Pictures are directories that should be shown using "Thumbnail view" mode. When I'm not in those 2 directories, Total Commander would show files in some default mode such as "Full". When I go into one of the 2 pictures directories, Total Commander would automatically show them in "Thumbnail view" mode.

Thanks,
Dave

On 2, Christian mentioned (beta forum) that he doesn't like this Explorer type behaviour. Maybe we can have it configurable.

Thumbnail View with auto 20/80 pane resize

Post by *wrightwe »

I would love to see an option allowing you to set the default pane ratio when it's in thumbnail view. For example, when you press CTRL+SHIFT+F1 to turn on thumbnails, it would automatically resize the panes at 20/80. When you press CTRL+SHIFT+F1 again it would return to the normal full view with the panes at 50/50.

It would be helpful for me if I could specific the thumbnail font-size.

Since I can't hide the name of the file, some of my longer filenames wrap beneath the thumbnail. If I could reduce the text size a few notches, on my monitor it woul still be legible but not wrapped.

I have seen the new Macintosh computers and am blown away by the displays. My next monitor will be a 1900x1200 display like this one:

I have asked the very same thing over the beta forum. It is being considered
by Christian but it's not high up his list! :(
