Tiles View

[eil]

deffinitely looks interesting!

Ctrl+Mouse wheel to change views rather than font size.

good idea, btw. i'd change font size to ctrl+shift+wheel, as it's not so often needed function.

Not sure about "Ctrl+Mouse wheel to change views" but I just finished adding "Large Tiles". I knew you would like it.

"Ctrl+Mouse wheel to change views". That certainly would be a winning addition especially in light of all your new view enhancements. I'll 2nd or 3rd nerdweed's motion. It's definitely true that more people would use that than changing font size which could be, as stated by eil, relegated to ctrl+shift+wheel since it wouldn't be used nearly as often.

When I turn on the option to view thumbnails, all the icons for folders disappear. Only when I click on one of the folders to select it, do all of the folder icons then reappear. If I then go up a level, I see the same thing there: missing folder icons until I click on something.

Indeed, if "Configuration | Thumbnails | Show folder thumbnails" is OFF. Trying to fix...

This happens if "Create all thumbnails at once is unticked"

Tiles view shouldn't respect this setting and always create thumbnails. Strangely, it also happens for non-image type files and folders.

Well, it should be fixed in v12.70.0013.

Thanks. Looks good. However; if the 4th line is slow due to shell properties, why not use it for Tags.

What icons should it use. I usually use multi size icons with the sizes 16,32,48,128 and 256.
XY doesn't support 256 bit icons as they are PNG Compressed.
So, it should have taken 128x128 and scaled it down, but it doesn't do so and I thought it would be taking the nearer one 48x48
For one sample icon, I embedded the 64x64 icon as well but it still stuck with the smaller dimensions (Even after restart)

Edit: The MDBU looked great as well. But it doesn't show up always. Am I missing some trick. Not able to show it at all now.

Confirmed, I overlooked something...

Icons: look fine here.
MDBU: no problems here.

Is the 4th line in Large Tiles view going to be used for something useful on non-image / non-media files?

Yes, "File version" where there is one.

PS: enjoy the weekend! It's so HOT here I'll keep the machine switched off for some days.

Here too...MDBU not working since v12.70.0013 for any size tiles or thumbs for images, pdfs or mpg4. An extended hold and release on the normal left mouse "opens" the file.

Try this to reproduce -

Goto a folder that has some images (pngs, icos) and other folders

1. Click on a folder icon (not on the one that shows thumbnails as it MDBU's) to see if it MDBU's (don't know if it should)
2. Now try doing a MDBU on any other image file
3. XY Restart fixes it.

Also smaller dimension images don't blow up (or they do but there is no feedback). That is ok though.

Regarding the icon sizes, the left size show the icons in large tiles view and right side shows folders with custom icons in large tiles view.

However; it appears this is normal since the icon sizes do change when I switch between small and large tile views.

And this icon has a 256x256 icon that isn't displayed as it is png compressed. If you notice there are only 7 icons in the preview but the count shows 8.

I'm experimenting with yet another new view: "Large Tiles". Tiles are 64x64 and there's one more info line: dimensions for images (and maybe length for media files). Here's a screenshot. Looks interesting?

Image content or a Large Tiles view? Both look great!

Thanks for solving the problem of thumbnailing larger images. (At least it does not appear on the system I am currently using.)

It cooled down a bit.

Not sure if there is any problem with ICO files.

The other issues (MDBU, missing icons) could be fixed. Upload coming...
