Most of the time I use rather large thumbs. But sometimes I need to see a lot of thumbs at once.
My request is that XnView store 2 sizes of thumbs in the cache: "small" and "large".
This is how it would work:
The options dialog would allow me to select two different sizes for thumbs.
When caching thumbs, XnView would automatically create and save BOTH sizes.
Then, with a toolbar button (or menu option, of course) I could switch quickly between the two sizes without waiting for the thumbs to be rebuilt.

Hello John !
• Although it's the opposite situation here - I use the most times small thumb nails and need larger ones from time to time -
I support your wish !
• To switch between the two sizes, I would like a button…
• This leads to get something we have now in TC, and
I proposed there , totally ignored by the Author, it seems

Please see the other
thread . I still prefer my suggestion
(you would specify the large size in cache and freely adjust the small version in realtime, for example) . Of course discussion is much welcome there.

One more wish: when changing to the bigger thumbnails I would like to have a different layout too. Usually (with small thumbs) I have the folder tree on the left. With the bigger thumbs I remove this to have more space available for viewing. So such an action (changing thumbnail size) should include the current/desired window layout.
