[Lxde-list] RFD: #3439812: different sizes of icons and thumbnails in the same view.

[Andrej N. G. <an...@re...>]

    Hello!

    I would like to hear your opinions on the subject if it worth to be
implemented. The original request is:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello. I was playing with the source code of libfm and pcmanfm and did
some improvements in thumbnails handling. First of all I separated
thumbnail size from icon size. From now on thumbnail width can be bigger
than icon width, but thumbnail height cannot. I did this that way because
I didn't want the icons to jump like in Nautilus. But of course this can
be changed. I added some options to pcmanfm's preference dialog to change
the thumbnails size. Its done in a little different way that selection of
icons size, but I think that GtkSpinBox is quite good. The change of
thumbnails size is not immediate because it would lead to large number of
reloads while changing the value in spinbox. Because of that the changes
is delayed by 2.5sec.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for me, I'm not sure if it's good for users to add additional setup
for thumbnails from icons, especially when user press Ctrl++ or Ctrl+- to
change icons size - what should happen to icons? So I see it's vulnerable
but what about you, what are your opinions?

    With best regards.
    Andriy.
