Folder thumbnail padding (square image issue)

[avivariba]

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):

folder vs file.png

An option to add some additional padding inside folder thumbnails would help a lot:

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.

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.

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 clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth + 1. You can tweak it here:

Code: Select all

clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth=4

(the clr prefix which usually stands for "color" is wrong, but too late to change)

That setting for me is clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth=-1. So, with that set at -1, I'll be able to maintain my no (yellow) border?

Yep.

Thanks Don. Beta v24.40.0108 looks good from my end with clrFolderThumbsBorderWidth=-1.
