Resizing images

<< < (4/5) > >>

leogets:
Thanks rick.ca.  Nice to know it's possible to do that.

Because after watching a movie, I mark it as been seen, then I move the file from its primary directory to another; Good, Fair, or Time Waster, within its container; so being able to see the FilePath to me is at the moment slightly more important. I can still see the IMDB rating which is fine and I'm still able to read the Description on what the movie is about so again this is fine.

I was just hoping there could be some sort of resolution made where I could in this case reduce the images to a predertimed size this way when I open PVD, I wouldn't have to scoll down almost all the time to see the FilePath because the image is too long.
But as I found out and to what you are saying is that it doesn't matter if the image is smaller than the column width, the column width remains the same even if the image is smaller, and if the image is larger than the column width, it will be reduced to the fixed column width.
Is there anyway to reduce the column width for the image?

As I explained here, this is not a good idea, but if you insist—fields can be placed anywhere in a skin. Put File path right at the top in a large, bold, brightly coloured font, it that's what you want. You can also use tabs to manage your limited screen space.

I don't think you would want to do that. The default skin uses <poster autosize="true"/>. What you want is probably <poster autosize="true" stretch="true"/>. The stretch attribute resizes the image to fit the width of the column.

You could also define a custom field for your rating. Leave flexibility to have more than one extra rating feild, so supporting more than one users opinion.
Should work OK from within PVD. Clearly not going to work outside.

Open containing folder. You can put a button on the toolbar for it if you like.

Thank you rick.ca

I was wonder how you put everthing under 1 column for the 800 x 600 resolution.
So I tried a coulple of the different Movie Information Skins that were provided but I couldn't find one like the one you posted with everything under one line.
The PVD Condensed I think works quite well aside from the background colour, I'd prefer light blue.  Next best would be the PVD classic tabs.
 
One other problem solved with the use of toolbar button 'open containing folder' button or right-click on the movie.

Now I can watch the movie then check it as seen, open containing folder move the movie to a Good, Fair etc. directory then close windows explorer and move on to the next movie.

Thank you.
