If you have performance problems, feel free to send samples. I don't see beachballs here, but I haven't tried the web thumbnails on a single core system (or tried optimizing them at all, really). Until a few weeks ago I was testing it regularly on a 1.33 G4, and it did fine with a few hundred PDF files. You could try setting FVWebIconDisabled to true using defaults, which will draw a Finder icon instead. > The file pane is looking really nice - although I was expecting it to > auto-size like omniweb's thumbnails.

OW has a single column, so it can size thumbnails to that width. The file pane is an iPhoto-style grid view like IKImageBrowserView; check out the test project for the fileview framework to see what it looks like. The original plan was to have it in the bottom pane, where zooming is more useful. -- adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
