Thumbnails window.

[Kurre]

Ever wondered if you forgot something for the track?

Do you remember what every plugin of the 200-500 plugins you have, has for function?

What did it look like? What was it called?

Maybe a thumbnail window could  ease the task of getting some grip on your wast amount of plugins.

.................

Take the plugin pic and add a textfield under it for user input.

Click on the thumbnail pic to open.

Click part of the pic to open only the textfield.

Nothing necessary but a cool thing to stand out from the competition. ?

coolio idea.

what would be nice if perhaps as part of the plugin scan, it can generate a cached thumbnail (like 512x512 pixels so it's readable even on high res screens) and store it in a subdirectory of the plugin folder it was found in:

C:\Program Files\<my plugin location folder>\thumbnails

then hovering over the plugin name in the plugin browser, or plugin selection list, would (after a second or so) popup.

That would also be cool.

How to implement it is of course up to the Bandlab crew.

I thought of it as a one time plugin scan started in the preferences. Then adding the thumbnailview to the view menu.

Plus  adding user input for textfield and a rescan for later installed plugins from that view.
