Hello!

I understand that thumbnails are separate .jpg files that sit inside their original .jpeg image as metadata.
I also understand that in Web galleries thumbnails are created as a (separate) file that references the full-sized image.

I am interested in the former option.

How can these thumbnails be edited? I would like to show a "more-zoomed-in" display of each image that the thumbnail represents inside each image.

Thank you
Mike

I think you may not be entirely correct. JPG does not store thumbnails inside the original jpg meta data ... At least I have never seen this before. Other uncompressed formats like TIFF may store jpg thumbnails directly in the original image, but not JPG.

Which option were you interested in? You have full control of editing the complimentary thumbnail created from Imagevue. Just go to a folder, and click the "edit thumbnail" button that appears when hovering mouse over a thumbnail. You can then edit a thumbnail as you like, with a zoomed in view. Snapshot:

Hi. Thank you.

I am however trying to edit the actual thumbnail data (JFIF?) that might show up in Windows Explorer in folder view, etc.--but not in an image program's database. Is this possible?

Thanks again!

How can I edit the page layout so that on first entering the site users see only large thumbnails 4 to 5 across and at least 120 down.
So in reality 24 rows of large thumbnails. I know Scrolling is the rule of thumb here but its the way it needs to be viewed.

Thanks

You can't edit jpg metadata through Imagevue ... This is not what Imagevue is for, and you would need to use a desktop photo application for this.

At least 120 down? I don't think anybody has strength in their arm to scroll that far ... Besides, Imagevue does not uses scrolling, it uses pages and displays as many thumbnails as it can within the given margin area without breaking into a scrollbar. Obviously this means you can't have 500 thumbnails or more on a single page ...

You could however try to enable HTML gallery as the default one. It shows all thumbnails in the folder at one page at least.

Thanks I looked into the html version format did not look good, so your saying there is no way to edit the coding ?

Thanks in advance

Change the coding of the Imagevue flash gallery application so that it shows a scrollbar? Sorry, no ... This is not how fluid flash applications work. In our user-galleries and demos, it must be pretty clear that Imagevue does not use traditional scrolling.
