* Now thumbnails are vertical center aligned. option to vertical align them to the top of the row ?
* Smaller spacing between the detail information lines.
* Highlight the filename with bigger font and/or show it as bold.
* Dynamic row size. Now all rows are as big as the thumbnail size like 128x128, But if you have a thumbnail that are 128*32 because the picture is very wide you
will get a lots of empty white space. Using dynamic row will make the row just so big that it needs to be.
However I know this can be a bit tricky since HitTest for every mouse action must calculate form the top to the found item. (Fixed size is so much easier)
* Top/Center alignment. Might be a good idea. will try it
* Spacing is fixed. it was using the wrong value for it. It was never intended to be that big
* Will try and see how it looks
* Dynamic size. Would be nice but as you write. It is not something that is easily added. All items in all modes are now fixed size. and that makes calculation for hittest and draw area and everything quick and fast. with dynamic sizes things get a lot more complicated. Maybe in the future.
From an aesthetic point of view I wonder if there is too much 'empty space' to the right of the thumbnail. Can a second column be added? (Or dynamic multiple columns depending on pane size).
Dynamic tiling of thumbnails (image scale/vertical & horizontal columns/rows re-flow) would be cool but probably a huge amount of work.
Second column might be added. But then the question is should the width of an item be "fixed" or should it be based on first column size
Also for second column to work first vertical scrolling with multiple items per row need to work and right now that does not work
(more below about that)
I love the details. But I also agree that there is to much white space. I don't know how hard it is to accomplish but maybe two columns instead of just one? Add more properties to fill the blank lines?
And the 'bolded' filename is a good idea too.
The details are based on what column are set to be show.. so instead of columns to be layout after each other they are place under each other.
So if you want more properties.. enable more columns.
1. I think there should be only one thumbnails mode but with options:
a) info align - left/right/top/bottom/disabled;
b) info content - filename, attr, dates, etc;
c) scroll direction - left<>right or top<>bottom;
d) ...
2. On Windows XP associated file icons aren't scaled. So if i have set up icon size to 16x16 and thumbs size to 128x128, icons will still be drawn as 16x16. But i suppose Win XP is not a thing for you to deal with anymore. And probably it's not worth it.
1) No there need to be multiple thumbnail modes. Sometimes you want more info and sometimes just the thumbnails are enough and going into settings to just change that is to much..
1b ) content is based on shown columns.
1c ) Vertical (top<>bottom) scrolling is something I been trying to add. However it is not easy. Everything from hit-testing, scrolling , draw area calculation needs to be tweaked to work with it. The UI controller can normally one have 1 item per row. And when adding list mode. it was a lot easier to add left<>right, Top<> Bottom is so much more complex. But I got it almost working. But there area many many corner cases, special situation where it does not work yet. And if I'm able to solve it (without breaking anything else) the Top<>Bottom option will be added to list/thumbnail mode
2) Yes I know. For XP only the Internal Thumbnail engine works and it can not scale icons good since XP does not support large icons.
