Use only one picture for generated picture folder thumbs? (1 Viewer)

[coopers]

Hi folks,

Currently when viewing pictures in MP, it creates a thumbnail for the folder as you navigate in "my pictures" in mediaportal.
Currently that thumbnail is a composite of 4 photos from the folder.

Is there a way to just use a single picture for this? 4 photos in a composite is nice, but it's a bit too small.

thanks!

No - currently not.
The size solely depends on the skins though. Users with larger display / beamers might disagree with you

Hoping to get a piclens style layout for this in a future release, but no one to spend time on it atm, so may not appear until MP2.

Ok, thanks guys.

I guess I can go through and create folder.jpg's myself. Possibly I can python script something to help me do it quickly.

I notice the jpgs created are quite small in size/resolution. Is there a "recommended" size that I should use? (I note that larger FOLDER.jpg files seems to affect performance, it's slower to load them). Was there a reason behind how the file size selected for auto-generated folder.jpg in mediaportal?

The configuration options for thumbnail quality should give you the reason:
Display size <-> Performance
