Title: Better thumbnail downloading
Post by: benn600 on August 30, 2006, 11:03:04 pm
I have been setting up MC so I can login on my laptop from an internet location because I can't store 200GB of flac music on my 60GB laptop hard drive and am not willing to keep a huge MP3 sync going since that would take days to get finished.  The problem is that thumbnail downloading is very slow to say the least--even on my wired network.  This is mainly because of a variety of reasons.  Hamachi requires a lot of processing to encrypt everything.  The cover art files are 1-3MB each.  The network connection will be even slower on the internet.

Therefore, I am wondering if I can store a small Folder.jpg file 500x500 and a larger Folder2.jpg as the original (1200x1200) that I scanned in.  I want to use the small file for thumbnail generation and all small images but when I click the play title option, I want the full screen view to take the high resolution image.  Any ideas?
