GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 463758
small thumbnails should not get downscaled in normal view
Last modified: 2010-07-22 11:30:30 UTC
To reproduce. 1. Put an svg and a png of an icon of size 48x48 in a directory 2. Open nautilus with an icon view in this directory 3. The icons that are displayed have a different size One would expect to see them with the same size

OK to commit?
Comment on attachment 93118 [details] [review] The patch that takes care that small thumbnails do not get scaled I don't quite understand what exactly this is supposed to fix. I noticed it prevents thumbnails from getting scaled down below a certain size in the icon view though. Could you elaborate on this change?
Created attachment 93617 [details] screenshot showing that a 48x48 svg get's incorrectly downsized Small svg files are now displayed at their native size if nautilus displays the icons at their normal size. So e.g. svg icons of 16x16 22x22 32x32 and 48x48 are displayed at their native size with this patch. Without the patch these icons get downscaled and look blurred. See also attached screen shot for an example.
I believe I'm seeing a similar effect with theme thumbnails (themes://). Even though thumbnails generated by gnome-theme-thumbnailer are 128x128, they get scaled down by nautilus which makes them look pretty ugly. If the thumbnails are created by gnome-appearance properties they look much better in nautilus, too.
This is obsolete now in master.
