Actually, it will work well if your server can serve up the page in a timely manner, and more importantly, if your browser can render a page that large. > Problem is, that even if you set the thumbnail size to something small > like 100 the browser chokes as it tries to load in and rescale 500 big > images simultaneously...well, here's the trick... SlimServer 6.5 (and also 6.2.2? I don't remember...) now automatically generates and caches thumbnail images rather than serving the resized orginals on the browse artwork pages. It works surprisingly well. I've found that a bigger annoyance with very large artwork is on the album page where it's displayed full-size. An image of 500 or 700 pixels square doesn't work at all on this page and just gets in the way. I've filed an enhancement request to be able to have SlimServer resize large artwork in the same way mentioned above for thumbnails.
