Why not? If it's the speed of conversion, that could be handled nicely by a system such as David Kastrup described (which he uses for his latex rendering package) earlier (and something like that is really necessary for large directories, regardless of how you display the thumbnails). I think both "dired style" and "photo album" style could be useful in difference circumstances, depending on what I want to do with the pics: if I'm re-arranging the files, deleting etc., dired would be useful; if I just want to look at pictures, a photo-album style layout [with slightly larger thumbnails] would be useful... > Personally, I do not like the larger size of the thumbnail files used > by the Thumbnail Managing Standard although I like standards. It seems like it should be user-configurable, and configurable separately for the different cases (you're right the, in the dired case, they should be a bit smaller). Does the "standard" allow for saving thumbs with multiple sizes? Is the thumb size encoded in the filename somehow? -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
