Thumbnail Options

Thumbnail Display Size

Allows you to specify the size of the thumbnails that are displayed in the Thumbnail file display mode:

- Thumbnail Size: The size of thumbnails when the standard Thumbnails display option is specified (If the small thumbnails option is selected then the thumbnails will be half this setting)

- Large Thumbnail Size: The size of thumbnails when the Large Thumbnails display option is specified.  Note this size thumbnail is not saved to the disk cache so will be much slower

Thumbnail Disk Cache

• Disk Cache Size:

Memory and Disk Caching is used to speed up the display of thumbnails in this application.  Memory caching is set automatically and only affects your system while Smart Pix Manager is running.  Disk Caching saves a copy of the thumbnail to your hard drive (typically it takes up about 2-3 KB per file).

You can specify the maximum number of thumbnails to be stored on your system by setting the value here.  A low value will mean that less hard disk space is used, but display will be slower.  A high value gives the best performance.  Smart Pix Manager will automatically delete old thumbnails if the number is larger than you have specified here.

However, if you set the 'Unlimited Storage' option then no thumbnail will be deleted until you click the 'Clear Cache' button

Media Library Thumbnail Storage

Generally you will not require Media Library Thumbnails as Smart Pix caches thumbnails on your hard-drive.  With removable devices (such as a CD, DVD or Zip disk), you may prefer to always save a thumbnail within the Smart Pix media library, so that you can view thumbnails for images even if they are not available, i.e. when the removable device is not inserted
