Extremely tight and beautiful thumbnail view request

Post by maxon »

Hello everybody

what an INCREDIBLE program this is :D

An you're even putting the suggestions of the users into it, that's just gold :)

I'm an artist that likes every program that has as little text in it as possible and as much visual aid as possible.
So I modified my thumbnail-view of the XNView like that, to contain no text at all.
And it looks and works like a dream :D Double-clicking the thumbs put the images in full-screen, and back. Awesome!

But,
since I'm such an artist, I so much would like to have an option to have the thumbnail-view also to cover all the screen real-estate possible, like fullscreen-image-viewing does. There would even be the option to put the scrollbars unvisible, so that only the thumbnails would be filling up the space. (Scroll-wheel, and arrow-keys would handle the scrolling.)

I made a concept about what I'm talking about:

Also, I would like the thumbnails to be as close to each other as possible. In fact, I would like to have even negative values on that border-spacing-option! So that I could make the thumbnails to overlap each other, like I accidentally managed to do in one of my try-outs somehow:

In this way the thumbnails would seem like photograps tossed on the floor and you could browse the whole pile, but with mouse. I would like something like that :P Very intuitive, I think, and what a space-saver!

Thanks,
I really hope some of my earthly wishes could come true

I hope you at least consider the fullscreen-thumbnail-view
