Thumbnails of Project Browser in LC8

Post by Jellobus » Thu Jun 29, 2017 6:45 pm

Hi all,

I found that it's hard to use project browser in LC8 compare to LC7 because it doesn't show any thumbnails.
Can I change settings of the browser to show thumbnails? or any walk around?

Thanks for your time!!

Louis

Please see an attached screenshot regarding this matter.

Hi Louis,

In LC you cannot show thumbnails in the PB.

You can only change the "Object Type Indicator" (Icons or Text), using the top right cog icon.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Panos

The settings in the Project Browser are in preferences or, as Panos mentions, under the gear just as in 7 and before, however viewing as thumbnails is no longer in there, as you noticed past version 8.

I agree with you, it is a handy thing to have available.

It was painfully slow to generate all those images dynamically, but sometimes useful. Might be good to submit a request to bring that back as a non-default option.

Hi all,

There is already a feature request about it:
