- Is it okey if you have to rescan the thumbnails every time you visit a folder?
- If not, do you want a 'thumbnail' work folder on your harddrive where the filer can store pre-made thumbnails?
For me I think you have to add some sort of thumbs save...
Or inside a specified folder or a folder inside every folder whit images to thumb...in a "Thumbs_cache" folder for example...
The behaviour must be choosen as someone like in the prefs...also if always create thumbs or not...

- Should thumbnails be generated automatically when you visit a folder or is it enough to have a 'view thumbnails' or 'generate thumbnails' button? It can take a very long time, and use a lot of cpu to generate all thumbnails if the original images are large.
To choose in prefs and
MUCH important to be very asincronous loading of thumbs...whit low priority so if cou time was poor it dont create problems to the user...
Quote:
- Should thumbnails follow the icon size settings, have its own separate settings, or even be a hard coded fixed value (like max 64*64)?
- Should rows with a thumbnail always have the same height regardless of if the thumbnail uses the full height? (like icons currently do)
Foe me have to be equal to icon properties, but a separate prefs was also better for complete configurability

The only thing that I want to point was the asincronous load(the way it works in current filer state wasnt nice unfortunately...gave me also some stability issues seems...)
The thumbs must also be scaled to aspect ratio(but maybe have to be choosen in prefs).
Also the priority of the thumbs to create/scan have to be related to current displayed files in filer...so if I scroll down/up the prioriti must change...and so on...
The thumbs for digital camera pics may/must be loaded from exif header to speed up things...if possible...
ATM that was all I think...
GOOD WORK!
