Hi, I like new forums look and feel, and I believe that file library would benefit from similiar change.The problem is see with File Library though is different. Over the years, people took no interest or care to attach pictures to their work, and now we all suffer from their lazyness. If only attaching 2-3 preview pics to every file upload was mandatory, it would help all of us to save bandwidth and money (and especially it would save avsim's money).I would even go as far as sending an e-mail to all contributors to update their uploads with photos (if it's possible with the current engine) and warn that it will be deleted after some time.There's lots of stuff that one would like to check, but it must be downloaded first, because author didn't care to post pics.So IMHO, thanks to all contributors for their hard work, but no thank you without preview image.Just my few cents.Cheers.Thomas

Thomas, I think you are going to be amazed at the new library (under construction now and soon to have BETA testing start). In final analysis though, providing images is up to the author/uploader. However, with the new system, I think they are going to WANT to upload images with thier files.

Even with the current Library system, there's no need to "download the file" just to see screenshots...It's simple enough to use the "Zipdive" button to open the file, and double-click on any images... :Applause:

Bill, yes... I had forgotten that approach to overcoming the lack of images in the file listing and descripiton page.

Looking forward to it.

Forgot about it too, but I still think that uploader should spend a minute more, and add preview.Cheers,Tomasz
