Blurred Thumbnails on Fast Dial
joncgde2 —Tue, 10/27/2009 - 07:24
Hi
I've been using Fast Dial for a long time, and love it! I don't know what I'd do without it :P
One thing that's been bugging me though, has been blurred thumbnails. I have my thumbnails set in the options to display at a fixed size, yet they are still blurred! I make my thumbnails in photoshop, and when displaying the image in my browser on its own, it is clear and sharp - so I know ths issue isn't related to any rendering problems.
Has anyone else had this issue and is there a fix/workaround for it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jon

What size are you making your Logos
400px x 300px ?
Maybe you could upload one here for test purposes ?
In principle at least, refreshing the logo, should resolve this question. Have you tried ?
Some users have reported that uninstalling fast dial and re-installing helps with this problem.
What is your cell size setting in Preferences ?
Please have a look at this thread, and see if your problems are similar

If you had a picture might be useful.
Please let us know how you get on.
Many thanks

either way, i do not believe that this fix has been made available on a wider scale. as far as i can tell, the same problem has been persisted into 2.23b1, and attempting to use the javascript telega provided me with causes 2.23b1 to severely break. what are the chances of a fix being implemented for 2.23b1 and being released, or do we need to wait longer still?

Welcome aboard !
Thanks for your helpful feedback.
Any chance you could send me the fix for 2.22b by pm, I would be interested to look at it.

There will be no fixes by telega until he has recovered.
I use 2.23b1 in FF3.5.5 and I would not say the Cells are exactly blurred. I use cell size 310x232 Fixed.
But I do understand that there is room for improvement in the software of Fast Dial that will improve the quality in a way which you have previously described.
I would would of course welcome such an improvement.
Please send me the fix when you can and I will see if I can do anything to improve matters
It is worth noting that some users are getting blurred thumbnails as they are using logos of smaller dimensions.
Screenshots and logo dimensions are great help in clarifying users problems.
Many thanks

Most interesting
Please now see
Possible Logo Quality improvement Fix for Fast Dial 2.22b only
Created a modified version of 2.23b1 with 7-zip inserting telega's modified fastdia.html.
But yes you are right.
When I try to use in FD 2.23b1 the Fast Dial context menus fail to appear as expected.
Big shame...
Needs modifying a little... :-)
many thanks
