It brings up the question of Exif thumbnails. I know that in general the idea of using them has been shot down for one reason or another. But they might prove useful as an intermediary for large files. For example: <5M: generate thumbnail >5M <10M: use exif thumbnail >10M: show icon. This is all assuming that as the file size increases, the complexity of retrieving the exif thumbnail increases as well. If that is not the case, this proposal makes no sense. --Pat _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
