Ugly folders in Opus 9.5 in Thumbnails View

Hi, why icons of folders don't zoom in thumbnails view? They remain very little although I use a 256x256 ico file.

In Windows 7 Explorer I can zoom up to 256x256.

I attached a screenshot.
At the left Win7 Explorer high quality view and at the right Opus 9.5 thumbnails low quality view. At bottom ico files correctly displayed in both windows.

You can greatly improve the graphics quality of folders to display a 256x256 icon instead of this little ugly thumbnail.

Thank you very much


Turn on the Folder Thumbnails option (and the one below it if you want) shown in the screenshot and you'll get larger folder thumbnails. They won't be drawn in the style of your icons though.


Mmmm, I checked "display thumbnails for folders" option but the results are ugly too, for folders and files.

As you can see, in Windows 7 I can zoom icons of folders, apps, docs, mp3, ecc. and they looks high quality.
In Opus 9.5 all these objects look very ugly and little.

Opus Thunbnails Mode is usable for images only.

In Thumbnails Mode the previews of other objects (folders, docs files, apps, etc.) should be replaced by high quality zoomable icons as in Windows Vista/Seven.

Can you submit this simple (but great) improvement to programmers?
Thank you very much


You can request this yourself using the support page.

By the way, have you modified your Text-File Thumbnails plugin configuration?

Opus shouldn't be showing you text thumbnails for HTML or PDF files like it is in your screenshot, unless you've configured the text-thumbs plugin not to ignore those formats.

The Opus thumbnails would also look better if all the spacing wasn't removed. That can be set via Preferences. (Fair enough if you want it to look like that; just mentioning it in case it wasn't on purpose.)

I never modified that. It's default.
If it's enabled show me preview of Html, Pdf, Rtf, Txt files.
But if I disabled that I see icons only for such files.
Thank you very much.

For ugly little icons: yes, it's a very simple feature to implement.
In Windows Vista/Seven OS, Directory Opus in every view mode, if it's present, always uses 256x256 RGBA format to display icons, but they are inexplicably limited to 48x48 size. It's nonsense and look very ugly, especially compared to Explorer.


Click the Defaults (Predefiniti) button at the bottom-left of the plugin's config window. It should then configure itself to ignore PDF and HTML files.
