The more square a thumbnail image, the more difficult it is to tell the folder apart from files, with the border around it being only a single pixel thick (regardless of the thumbnail view size, and even less noticeable if the image has a similar color as the thumbnail background):
An option to add some additional padding inside folder thumbnails would help a lot:

Re: Folder thumbnail padding (square image issue)
Yes, I noted that too. And I agree that 7 pixels (more on larger screens, or on larger thumbs, need to think) would be a good default.

Re: Folder thumbnail padding (square image issue)
For people who do not mix images in with their folders of images please allow the current configuration of keeping folder thumbnails without yellow borders. I keep my images within the folders, not with the folders. So, I don't need to distinguish what's a folder and what isn't. Thanks.

Re: Folder thumbnail padding (square image issue)
Oops, it turns out that this problem was caused by a recent bug (like always a side-effect of some optimization). The default padding should be 5 pixels (and will be again in the next beta). It calculated from
(the clr prefix which usually stands for "color" is wrong, but too late to change)
clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth + 1
. You can tweak it here:Code: Select all
clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth=4

Re: Folder thumbnail padding (square image issue)
That setting for me is clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth=-1. So, with that set at -1, I'll be able to maintain my no (yellow) border?

Re: Folder thumbnail padding (square image issue)
Thanks Don. Beta v24.40.0108 looks good from my end with clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth=-1.
