Okay, I heard you all. It's on my list.

Thanks! If nothing else I enjoy supporting products that have such a good level of customer interaction... even if things don't go my way.

Don't get me wrong on my whole stance either, I'm all for speed and efficiency before all else, and it looks like you've got your priorities well placed for this file manager. Time to continue giving it a second shot

I guess I can check back every so often, but if you're not expecting to work on it anytime soon, you could help me out by letting me know, does the icon request's position on the "list" put it's estimated implementation at roughly weeks, months, or even just days? Thanks.

ASAP, like all other stuff on the list, too.

BTW, I saw your big icons are 48x48, mine are only 32x32. Is that a Windows setting?

From "Registry Guide for Windows" by WinGuides:I tried setting it to 48 and it enlarged my Win Expl icons when in "large icon" view setting...there is apparently a GUI vers of tweak avail via their software to set it also...

That or what I did is simply goto display properties > appearance > advanced > icon = enter what size you want here, though I may be wrong... it does have a max of around 80 though, but I imagine all this will be changed with Vista, as it supports super-huge icons (like 4000x4000 or something), possibly even being created from vector information, like on OS X?

Ok... so I found the back-door method and didn't realize there was a perfectly good and open front door available! Well, as I don't use icons much, I didn't know about that option...Thanks!

the only use i see for those big thumbnails in wexplorer is the preview of pictures inside. than comes indeed handy. other than that.. just eyecandy.
folders can be identified and/o highlighted by many other ways.

Aye, eye candy or not, the only use I see of having 16x16 icons in 180x180 grids space is to make things look bad / confusing. So given my choices, I'm going to take the eye candy over not.

But it's a good thing we don't all see the world through one person's eyes, cause software wouldn't be nearly as useful, hell I bet if we let just one sole person pick out XYplorer's feature set based on their needs, it'd have less than half of what it does now.

Cool, we got 32x32! Thanks... now just to get it so it's XxY

I can't complain about the support though, that was very fast. If you could do 64x64 or atleast 48x48 that'd suit me for now, even 32x32 is quite tiny...

So I'll patiently wait and see how you make out, but you have my money, I'll be registering this tomorrow.

Fine fine!

Am I doing something wrong as XY is still displaying the majority of my icons at 16x16 (see below). Although it will display the odd icon at 32x32 (printer icon).

The other icons e.g. the flag have an embedded 32x32 image ?

My bad , XY is actually displayng the Printer image at 48x48, but the Flag Icon also has an embedded 48x48 image ? So this is still puzzling me ?

See http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?p=8026#8026

Sorry didn't see Jacky's post - is there anyway to get XY to ignore the properties size value for Icons and just display at the max size ?

Very sad but I used Autohotkey to write a macro that opens and then saves two rows of icons in Iconlab which then reverts the properties to maximum icon size (so they display at maximum size) - but it's a bit tedious.

Not to worry will continue with my icon resizing excercise.

Thanks
