Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to increase the windows preview thumbnails beyond what is available in the nexus option.


I've been using this for a long time:

Going back to nexus the thumbnails are really small.
Is it possible to add bigger thumbnails in future nexus update ?


Thanks

256 pixel wide thumbnails really small? I guess, if you got used to 400 pixel wide thumbnails, lol ;-)

A thumbnail is supposed to be a miniature of the original, not potentially larger than the original itself... ;-)

What thumbnail size are you using or you would like to use?

Thanks for answering,

I meant it was small compared to what i've been using.
It is really subjective.
I'm using 400 pixel with the windows taskbar.

I also have another question regarding the dock.

I'm using Jriver media center and the latest Nexus Ultimate on windows 8.1 x64.

When i play a video and double click to get it on full screen, the the dock is always visible.
I can't hide it (regardless which setting i use: same as other windows / always below)

The only way to get rid of this is by closing nexus and reopen it.

It is very easy to trigger this problem using dual monitor.
Once your video is on full screen, you click on the second monitor (nexus dock will show up, and, from that point forward it will always stay above full screen video.

The only way to stop it is by closing nexus and repoen it.
I don't know if anyone experienced this.

This has been a problem since i bought ultimate in 2012 (and mainly why i stopped using it (it's painful to close and reopen the dock all the time)

I'm trying to get back into it using "auto hide" as alternative, but it's not as ergonomic.

If you have two monitor and Jriver maybe you could debug it.

I know it has something to do with the way Jriver render the video (windows media player works fine)

If you could try see if you can do something about this.

Anyway, Thanks for the answer regarding the thumbnails :wink:

Ok, I changed the code for the next release so the size of window preview thumbnails can be set from 64 to 512 pixels in 1 pixel increments.

As for the other issue, I'll try looking into it.
