Post by: lpr on October 24, 2004, 07:12:13 pm: I would also like to see them back as an option.
Title: Re:Tiny thumbnails, we want you back
Post by: TimB on October 24, 2004, 07:20:44 pm: Too many options are bad!

I think they should be improved and reintroduced, NOT as an option. :)

Sounds like the usual "explaination" here in China.
Title: Re:Tiny thumbnails, we want you back
Post by: Rands on October 26, 2004, 01:49:31 am: For what it's worth, I found the little thumbnails to be incredibly annoying. If they come back, I'd also like an option to turn them off.
Title: Re:Tiny thumbnails, we want you back
Post by: JaredH on October 26, 2004, 05:39:32 am: I second the motion for an option instead of a forced addition.

Funny isnt it? And they almost seem to like it that way. Must be blissful ignorance. Wuhan seems to be more like that than the other places I've been. It may be a city of 8 million people, but it still very much has a small town mentality.

Post by: JorgeGVB on October 26, 2004, 01:58:32 pm: I would rather have the little cover art displayed any day over the little music note. At least make it an option for those of us who liked it.
Title: Re:Tiny thumbnails, we want you back
Post by: runemail on October 30, 2004, 08:40:14 am: Bring back the thumbnails!
We miss them.

The little music note feels so "old-school" now.
There should be an option to remove everything, including the note.
And a better cover art finder, the one used now is pretty useless.

I liked them also

Post by: jsosow on October 30, 2004, 11:34:00 am: Bring them back only as an option. They were just something else that would slow down the refresh of the page. Not everyone has a mega computer
Title: Re:Tiny thumbnails, we want you back
Post by: glynor on October 30, 2004, 01:47:23 pm: I liked them too, and while I wouldn't say I have a mega-computer, the extra "refresh" time never bothered me (my computer holds it's own). I can understand that some people would like to have the option to turn it off though ...

My computer is rather old 1 1\2 years

Intel Pentium 4 3049 MHz MMX / Memory: Total - 523 MB

But it did just fine
Title: Re:Tiny thumbnails, we want you back
Post by: sail121j on October 30, 2004, 03:25:23 pm: I have stayed on 11.0.97 because I like the tiny thumbnails. I would take any method - option or not - to display them. It doesn't slow the display very much and is nice to see that the album art is associated with the music file.
Title: Re:Tiny thumbnails, we want you back
Post by: loid on November 01, 2004, 10:35:01 pm: Same for me, I did not upgrade yet because I don't want to lose the tumbnail.
Bring it back!!!
Title: Re:Tiny thumbnails, we want you back
Post by: datdude on November 01, 2004, 11:09:47 pm: Resurrect them!
Title: Re:Tiny thumbnails, we want you back
Post by: JorgeGVB on November 02, 2004, 08:42:29 am: I wish Jim or Matt would chime in and let us know their position on the tiny thumbnails coming back. It is unusal that they would not comment on something that appears to have a lot of interest.

Agree. They definitely slow down the refresh. But they are very useful.
Hope the implementation as an option is not too hard to do.

Post by: IanG on November 02, 2004, 03:41:22 pm: Since I don't get to vote in that other election, NO, please don't bring them back unless they're an option. They're just blots on my screen!

No, I'm fairly sure I'd remember that. It would be unusual for a Brit :D

Post by: Absurrrd on November 05, 2004, 07:36:24 pm: Could Jim or matt or someone please tell us if we can look forward to seeing the tiny thumbnails returning to version 11 in some way. Since I started this thread there have been a lot of opinions expressed in favor of them. You guys do great work and Media center is the best. :)

Title: Re:Tiny thumbnails, we want you back
Post by: JimH on November 05, 2004, 08:53:08 pm: Maybe. We haven't decided what to do.

Post by: Quixote on April 21, 2005, 09:14:56 am: I'll add my vote to the option route. I liked them, but sometimes I didn't like them. Need the option.

How tiny do you want these thumbnails? Here's a screenshot from my setup - the thumbs are 24x24, after I decided that 8x8 was too tiny!

What is being referred to here was a very very early version of MC 11.0 which replaced the blue musical note icon in the list view, with the files individual cover art.
