Tiny thumbnails
jgreen:
I like ham's first idea of text colors. The LEDs seem a little much, and take up way too much room. But text color is a freebie, space-wise. I thnk it's time jriver led the way in this.

That is exactly the idea. Both columns would be available items in "configure current view > columns to show". You would be able to choose if you like to see them (none, only one or both) and also be able to change the column order.
This "Tiny Thumbnails" column could be the first column by default as a gimmick for newbies.
modelmaker:
I agree here totally with Alex. Personally I would like the "notes" back, the thumbnails, which you mostly can't make out anyway, make things look too busy.
However, being able to choose one or the other or both (as columns) in "Customize Current View" would be the better solution.
GHammer:
The 'note' is not clear at first. At least I didn't know why this one was blue and this one orange.
Blue and orange aren't normally used to show status.
Red. green, yellow are.
I like the text color idea, and threw out the LED thing as an alternative if you like flashy stuff.
Anyone who uses a computer knows if they see red text, something needs looked at.
I would leave 'normal' items at the skin default.
But you know, a tiny status light is appealing to me too. I can't quite figure how this is SO large a waste of space when the mockups I see have scads of space devoted to columns showing dimensions, filenames, types, etc. I'd rather my display give me a quick status of the files and leave in depth info to the seperate area MC has for Tag/File info.
And be cute/cool doing it.

Not a huge fan. Multi-colored text is harder to read. Particularly on a TV screen.
