Change Thumbnail Size
Change Thumbnail Size
Is there some way to change the size of the thumbnails in FC XE. I see you can change the spacing between thumbnails but cannot find where you can change their size
Re: Change Thumbnail Size
Yes, using the thumbnail view button, in submenu.

Re: Change Thumbnail Size
Thanks for your answer Dreamer now I've found it. I expected it to be in XE settings under Tools/Settings/View/Thumbnails. I never use the buttons so missed it.
Is there some way to save the thumbnail size setting so XE doesn't revert back to the previous thumbnail size? Tools/Save Settings does not do it.

Re: Change Thumbnail Size
I don't think so, it would be useful, I agree.

The size is saved automatically per tab.Is there some way to save the thumbnail size setting so XE doesn't revert back to the previous thumbnail size? Tools/Save Settings does not do it.
Re: Change Thumbnail Size
I didn't know that, anyway, I found a bug, I'll create new topic for it.

Can you elaborate a bit? I can't work out where that is.Dreamer wrote:Yes, using the thumbnail view button, in submenu.
Re: Change Thumbnail Size
I can't find this one in the Settings panel, but in FreeCommander.ini file you can modify these values:
[MainPanel]
LeftThumbSize=96
RightThumbSize=96
This is what Dreamer referred to:
[MainPanel]
LeftThumbSize=96
RightThumbSize=96

Re: Change Thumbnail Size
Once again: where is that choice for size available within FC? I Could not find it
And what is more: I went the INI file and changed in it both the LeftThumbSize and RightThumbSize value - but only my Left Panel is affected
Plus [even before doing the above] I constantly get filenames truncated by about half at their bottom part, even when there are no other thumbnails below them. And this comes and goes - similar in manifestation / behavior of this bug: http://freecommander.com/forum/viewtopi ... 19&t=11369

Re: Change Thumbnail Size
It's available with default settings, but if you don't have the drop-down arrow next to the button, you can create it.

Re: Change Thumbnail Size
Only after your guidance have I found this well hidden option
But there are numerous Issues with it:
A] The user is not able to set his own sizes. For me ideal is 245 but I am forced to choose between 192 or 256
B] Turning on the arrow for that icon on my Splitter messes the icon. I simply can not get rid of it; i.e. I get rid of it but after re-opening of FC the arrow on the icon is there once more. And I cannot have this altered icon because it makes my Splitter too wide
C] This is apparently not a permanent / overall setting. I have to set it for every folder; or to be precise: tab. Because creating a new tab makes it choose for its thumbnails a default size. And that is the whole point: I want to set that size and not be forced with using what FC tells me to
D] That default size of thumbnails should be configurable under the
Tools > Settings > View > Thumbnails
I though I could change this in the FreeCommander.ini file, but in the >>[MainPanel]<< section of the INI file those
LeftThumbSize
RightThumbSize
entries are affecting the last active tabs - and as such should be renamed to something like
LeftCurrentTabThumbSize
RightCurrentTabThumbSize
so that no one [trying to find a workaround] would mistake them for what should be there precised i.e.
LeftPanelThumbSize
RightPanelThumbSize
