Folder History (combobox)

The folder history contains the last 500 selected folders, it can be maintained with the view actions.

A mouse click inside the combobox opens the history list, this do not work on OS X.

Thumbnail Size (spinner)

Thumbnail size has two modes:

  • 1 image is displayed horizontally:
    the image size in pixel can be set
  • Multiple images are displayed horizontally:
    Number of horizontal images can be set but the image size is still displayed

When many images are displayed (>1000), the application response time becomes slower, it takes about 1 second to draw 5'000 small images (when the images are loaded and cached).

By default, the thumbnail image cache size is 2000 images (can be set in the preferences), a size of 8000 with Win7 had caused no problems.
