In a folder where there is mix of landscape and portrait jpgs, thumbnails will be shown correspondingly. Notice the last 4 portrait jpgs.

Is it possible to set thumbs in such a way they will crop/zoom/fit to display only in the thumbnail dimension in the config setting? The last 2 portrait jpgs now has zoom to fit but top/bottom cropped thumbnails.

No, that's not possible currently, and I've never heard of a software that does it (have you?), but interesting idea.

If this is not possible in config setting, would it be achievable by SCRIPT?

No, scripts have no power here.

There are gallery viewers that have this feature. I think they are based on FLASH (not sure, though). HD Gallery on WindowsApps is one example. Anyway, thanks for your reply

I don't even know how this feature would be called. Even XY's floating preview does not offer this sort of thing. I would call it "Zoom to Fill" maybe, or "Fill and Spill", or "Crop to Touch", dunno... any ideas? (Implementing it would be totally easy, only MDBU would need some extra thought.)

Yeah, i would be interested too. I use a wordpress plugin which gives such behavior, looks much cleaner with no empty spaces.
Zoom to Fill seems fine to me.
But how would you deal with images that are smaller than the thumb size? Stretch-to-fit?

Bravo, Don. Zoom to Fill!

Good question, but since stretching small pics normally looks very bad, I would not do this.

Zoom to Fill -- I probably was inspired by your sample pics.

Yes, I agree.

Zoom to fill does indeed sound interesting. I take it, it would be an option under Configuration | thumbnails | "Zoom to fill" portrait images to landscape (in the settings you have established for thumbnails) and probably not the other way around (i.e., landscape to portrait), though someone could have the thumbnail setting to 180x240 instead of 240x180 for example (all my thumbnail sizes are landscape so I wouldn't personally need it or care).

Yes, Configuration | thumbnails | "Zoom to fill"

And both ways, I'd say.

Those were zoomed not only to fill but to overfill...but at least it get some attention!
