Okay okay, sorry for not being precise enough, it does not work as it is *now*, for me. I'd be happy to add some more advanced way of handling this, later. > 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... I agree completely. I use tumme for different purposes. Sometimes just to browse and find an image, sometime to organize (tag, delete etc). >> 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). I was referring to the file size. I don't remember how big a difference there was between a PNG and JPG of the same dimensions but at least when I created thumbnails for my 3000+ images I found the difference in file size to be too much. Now I'd better learn how to check in stuff to CVS...
