Thumbnails with solid colors on the edges are shown cropped

Post by *qda »

I've noticed that in thumbnail view, images that have solid colors on the edges are being shown as cropped.

For example, here's a thumbnail of an image that ISN'T supposed to be square: http://i.imgur.com/tSzB8uE.png

The actual image has a lot more margins around the cassette, and is in a portrait aspect ratio.

Is this a bug?

Poor design, in my opinion, and only benefits a fringe use case. Thanks for your reply.

qda,
Well, if there is not a Lister plugin installed for thumbnail rendering, TC gets its thumbnails from Explorer which renders all thumbnails with additional borders, TC just tries to remove them. So it's definitely not a fringe case but something that has bothered people during the beta test at that time and has been implemented at users' requests.
On one hand I understand it is really bad for images with solid color borders, since TC shows a thumbnail different from the actual image, on the other hand you are the first to complain in the forum in 10 years so I guess it does not bother that many users.
