Better quality thumbnails in Browser mode

Post by manopo »

Hi - when viewing a folder of images in Browser mode the default size of the thumbnails are quite small and of low quality. When I moved the slider to make them bigger I get a warning that the original thumbnail is not big enough and can change it in settings which looks too confusing to me on what to do. Is anyone out there able to provide some tips on how I change the settings to show slightly larger thumbnails and at better quality?

Thanks xnview. After I do that do I select ‘Rebuild Catalog’?
