in reply to chiaroscuro:

Do you find the present Preview (Zoom) image size increase about right ?

Yes, maybe just about right... I personally would prefer to be 'zoomed out' a little more, but I appreciate not everyone has the same tolerance for small text :-)

in reply to telega:

Regarding preview on mouse over - I don't understand how it should work. For example you have moved mouse over the first thumbnail - a preview appears. How it's supposed to hide then?

ok... a good point :-)

I've just had a play around with this, and the way I would naturally expect this to work is as follows:

- I hover over a previewed website
- after a small amount of time (half a second, a second? a user-configurable time?) the preview is displayed, and this is centred in my Fast Dial tab (the latter being current functionality)
- in order to remove the preview, i either move the mouse to the top of the browser window, or to the side of the image preview (depending if i'd hovered over an image towards the top of my Fast Dial or to the side of it - whichever mouse movement is shortest).
- The image preview disappears immediately (no delay)

The delay (possibly user-configurable) would allow the user to move over to the image they wish to preview (particularly those in the middle of the Fast Dial tab), without getting caught in a cycle of inadvertently previewing the ones they have to hover over in order to get there.

I think having this delay as user-configurable (in units of tenths of a second, let's say), would allow for differences in how quick people are with the mouse. I'm pretty quick, someone with more grey hairs than me might not be :-)

I think this would work...

As chiaroscuro says, I think 'on-hover' previews, if implemented, should certainly be an optional setting, and also the user-configurable delay should probably be a sensible (slow, maybe 1 sec?) default, to cater for the widest variety of users. Power-users will want it to be quicker, but they will know to look for a setting.

2.22b on Windows

Hi, just wondering, is the preview function a windows-only function? Because on my properties dialog on a mac firefox there's no such checkbox

Hmmm
Not sure why that is happening

2.22b on Windows

Can you post a picture ?

Many thanks

Thanks for your picture.

Do you have that Favicon line on your PC ?

Great observation. No, that Favicon line is not present on my PC's Firefox.

Good.

I have not got it either

Maybe re-check your Mac Fast Dial Version number ??

2.22b, preview box: there
2.22b, Favicon box: not there
I'll be able to check a Mac (Tiger) on Monday if the problem persists.

Thanks for the confirmation

I cannot check for the Mac.
