Minor Nautilus patch proposal (thumbnail size) - devel - Fedora mailing-lists

21 Mar 2007


      Hey,
since i use Gnome in fedora i really HATE it that the thumbnails are
always oversized!!! they are giant compared to the icons and this
patch solves this problem.
You need to edit this file:
libnautilus-private/nautilus-icon-factory.h
find this line:
#define NAUTILUS_ICON_SIZE_THUMBNAIL   96
change the value of it ("96" in this case) to: "48" than it`s in sync
with the standard icon size.
result should be:
#define NAUTILUS_ICON_SIZE_THUMBNAIL   48
i also edited this:
#define NAUTILUS_ICON_MAXIMUM_SIZE     320
into this:
#define NAUTILUS_ICON_MAXIMUM_SIZE     150
i don`t think this is a good patch. better would be to have this in
the nautilus preferences window but i don`t know how to do that.. so i
can`t adjust it that far. this will do fine.
this patch can be done in a patch thing in the nautilus rpm package
i hope this makes it`s way into the nautilus package by default..
otherwise i need to patch it manually all the time ^_-
please let me know what you think of it.
