(on screen) thumbnail size

[nicnet123]

Hi - I don't want necessarily to change the underlying thumbnail size in storage, but I would like to fit more on screen. How can this be adjusted?
Coming from google photos, now have about 200k photos in photoprism - it's handling it fine, but with google photos, you could change the size of onscreen thumbnails with just ctrl + and -. Can't do the same on photoprism ...

Did you try the option to change the number of photos?

You have to click several times to switch the display.

You can test on the demo: https://demo.photoprism.app/library/browse

It cycles between 3 views.
The max "thumbnails" I see on my monitor in those 3 views is 12 (across), and 7 (down), so a total of 84 images.
On google photos, I like to shrink them down to 41 across by 25 or so, about 1000 images in one screen.

Ok I see your point. Zooming out on Google Photos make images smaller, while on PhotoPrism the size of the photos is constant, so we can't see more photos.

Dynamic thumb sizes add complexity and are likely to introduce bugs in combination with virtual scrolling. So implementing this cannot be done quickly, especially since we are also working on a long list of other features right now. Also note that browsers have a request limit per domain and home users typically don't have a CDN to compensate for this, so loading 1000 images at once typically isn't a great idea without professional content delivery infrastructure.

Fair enough.
