Thumbnails: Please add resize image to fit the view size specified

[apixel]

In Settings Thumbnails please add a configuration option to resize/stretch all thumbnails to viewsize specified when image is smaller than desired viewsize. Currently (1.8.2) in cases where the image is smaller than the specified size the thumbnails can be challenging.

Irfanview Thumbnails has this feature and it is helpful in these (image smaller than viewsize) situations.

IRFANVIEW Thumbnail settings screenshot, see the second setting.
