Tiles View

Yeah, good idea.

Good:
MDBU works properly now on images with dimensions above the tiles size value i.e. > 48x48 in small tiles view and > 64x64 in large tiles view (there's nothing to blow up if it is smaller. There is a feedback though, if you do right click blow up on a non selected smaller image, it shows a dimmed selection rectangle around it) except (see below)
The tiles appear fluently as well, even with Create all thumbnails at once unchecked.

Bad:
If it is having a PNG compressed. An icon file with only 256x256 png compressed icon appears as below. The icon is neither displayed nor blown up.

As seen for smaller dimensions, it doesn't blow up, but the selection rectangle is dimmed

PNG compressed icons are supported in Windows Vista and above. It takes less space compared to a 256x256 non png compressed icon.

Yes, XY currently cannot preview PNG compressed icons.

Is there a plan to make the line wrapping or customize the number of caption lines file names in the Tiles View?

[admin]

Currently not. Phase one of Tiles view is completed.

I, like many other users many use Thumbnails View and the oldest version of XYplorer which I survived is 7.80.0.0 (2008 year), I didn't use it - not see all the file name in Thumbnails View. But it took 5 years and appeared set to customize the number of caption lines file names in the Thumbnails View - excellent! XYplorer, you can use.
Now a favorite by many users Tiles View and not seen again all the file name!
And it is no wonder that the file name comes first in the form of Tiles View, and Details Details View with Thumbnails, in most cases file name, is the most important thing.

Okay, I'm not totally against it. One could simply use the "caption lines" setting for thumbs views. What do the others say?

The alignment will not be screwed, simply all tiles will get higher (the ones with shorter names will have empty lines).

When Tiles View was initially discussed I didn't think it would be particularly interesting or useful to me.
But now that it's been implemented the way it has, I do actually use it for certain folders on my system. Particularly because of the way it shows quite a bit of metadata, combined with the ability to see thumbnails, combined with the ability to do MDBU. Very handy indeed.

Believe me, the use of additional rows to the file name in Tiles View you will like it even more.

Unlikely - I use smaller fonts than you and many of my file names fit in just fine. For those that don't, I can see enough of the name to know what they are, and when I do need to see the full name I just look at the info tip. I prefer having more tiles in view.

So would that imply that we can have some control over how many lines are available? Because my file names tend to be shorter so I'd maybe not want to have space for 2nd line for filename and using the "..." would be better as gives more tiles per screen.

Because my file names tend to be shorter

Mine are unfortunately longer. I also appriciate some control to add new lines.
