Change Thumbnail Size

[freddo]

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

[Dreamer]

Yes, using the thumbnail view button, in submenu.

Topic moved to correct forum.

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.

[Dreamer]

I don't think so, it would be useful, I agree.

The size is saved automatically per tab.

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.

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:

Where exactly within FC is available that choice of size? I Could not find it


And what is more: I went to the FreeCommander.ini file and changed in it both the LeftThumbSize and RightThumbSize value - but only my Left Panel became 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

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

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] This is apparently not a permanent / overall setting. I have to set it for every folder; or to be precise: for every Tab. Because creating a new Tab makes it have applied automatically the same default size of thumbnails within that Tab. And that is the whole point: I want to set that size and not to be presented by FC with a carried over choice

C] 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 because of that they should be renamed to something like

LeftCurrentTabThumbSize
RightCurrentTabThumbSize

so that no one [trying to find a workaround like me] would mistake them for [currently non existing] precised options

LeftPanelThumbSize
RightPanelThumbSize

D] 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

I have added them to this summarizing post in that new topic: https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13821

Although with the exception of this last one
