if there are multiple images, can we all not agree that in general, meaning in the majority of cases, that using the highest resolution image would likely be the most desired result? b/c i think thats a rather obvious and non-controversial assumption to make. if we can all be reasonable and agree on that, then using the highest resolution one is not at all "arbitrary" but actually desired and welcome. in the unlikely case that sorting via resolution is more cpu intense than alphabetical is, then the next best attempt to pick the highest resolution one would be filesize. most of the time, that would hold true. -- MrSinatra www.lion-radio.org using: sb2 & sbc (my home) / sbr (parent's home) - sbs 7.5b - win xp pro sp3 ie8 - p4(ht) 3.2ghz / 2gig ram - 1tb wd usb2 raid1 - d-link dir-655 - 35k mp3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrSinatra's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2336 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71768 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
