Automatically generate thumbnails for png images #59

Closed cweiske closed 3 years ago

cweiske commented 3 years ago

I wanted to add titles to 20 .png images, and ran photini on command line with their names:

$ photini *.png

Then the photini main window was visible with all the images, but they had no thumbnail. I could manually right-click on each of them and press "refresh thumbnail", but I would have to do this for each of them. (Marking multiple and then triggering thumb refresh does not work).

It would be nice if photini would automatically create thumbnails, or at least would allow refreshing them for many at once.

Good idea. I think it should also apply to other things on the image selector context menu such as reload metadata. I'm not keen on automatically doing anything, as my general philosophy is only make changes that the user requests.

I'll work on it for the next release, sometime after Christmas.

Thanks, that works fine now!
