Much larger thumbnails for fast culling on monitor 4k-5k
« on: September 21, 2015, 03:44:34 AM »
An important option for quick selection of photos, would be able to have much larger thumbnails on the new high-resolution monitor type 4k or retina.
Having such a monitor 4K, only 4 photos per horizontal line, you can select the photos much more quickly, because already by large thumbnails of these monitors at high resolution, you can already see a lot of detail and you could simply select "scrolling "large thumbnails. I hope it is possible in a future release.
Thank you so much,

Alan Venzi

Alan,

On a high-dpi screen such as a Retina display, the largest thumbnail is already 1024x1024 pixels.  How much larger are you wanting?

Please note that the larger the thumbnails, the longer they take to generate and they take up more of PM's cache memory which will produce a slower browsing environment.
