This commit now allows 100 pixel thumbnails as the smallest setting. In this<br />
setting, all other information is hidden except for the rating and file name<br />
and / or title. With smaller settings we get problems with the overlays above,<br />
the flags or the icon for groups.<br />
The 100 pixels are definitely the smallest acceptable size for me, so that the<br />
operation and appearance typical of digiKam is retained.<br />

Found "use large thumbnails for high res monitors" in Settings. I did not<br />
understand this option to do this. I thought it was about the internal<br />
thumbnail resolution and not the actual display size.<br />
Is there any reason not to just allow the user to define the range?<br />
<br />
I do not understand why thumbnails below 100 should not be useful. It is<br />
entirely useful. In Gwenview, I can scale the thumbnails down to 48x48.<br />
This is really useful when doing a first pass sorting through a large<br />
amount of incoming photos in which a lot of photos are clearly from the<br />
same set or same event.<br />
I have attached a screenshot (pixelated for privacy reasons) of Gwenview<br />
with thumbnail size set to 48x48. In this screenshot. Even with the<br />
pixilation, it is easy to see that each of the three marked selections are<br />
related. Now, these selections are small for the sake of having an example<br />
that would easily illustrate the problem. However, in practice, sometimes<br />
these sets can be hundreds of photos that are nearly identical. And I<br />
typically need to sort these into folders for each set and then finely sort<br />
through them set by set at a later stage.<br />
I would love that digikam would allow me to do this!<br />
<br />

You mention that the text is shortened and rating stars cut off when<br />
thumbnails are this small. I do not see that as a problem. Quite the<br />
contrary. I would absolutely love it if all the additional details like<br />
text, rating stars, etc. are hidden when using thumbnails below a certain<br />
size. Typically you would not rate photos nor care about filenames when you<br />
are working with thumbnails this small.<br />
<br />
Would it at least be possible to allow the user to decide this by having<br />
the slider go down to, say, 48x48 and then have DK hide everything but the<br />
actual thumbnail when size is below X (where could be 100 or something<br />
suitable)?<br />
<br />
Just like with the large thumbnails, this behavior could be something that<br />
could be enabled with a checkbox in the Settings.<br />
<br />
Another useful idea: Would it be possible to have a quick toggle that would<br />
show/hide all the text, rating stars, etc. in the thumbnail view. E.g by a<br />
shortcut key or similar? That would be really handy!<br />

Using the slider on the image below, I can change the size of thumbnails<br />
from 128x128 to 256x256px. This is a rather narrow size range.<br />
