Right - I tried changing their size on mouse over - the tree control lost its marbles.

Heheh. I've written this like 6 times already today.

Small = 24 pixels
Medium = 91 pixels (original Poser thumbnail size)
Large = 200 pixels

We decided, for various reasons beyond just Poser 8, to build the library GUI in Flex.

It turns out that the design teams vision of how this control should work was beyond the capabilities of the Adobe tree control. I managed to make a lot of things work, but mouse-over sizing was too much. As well, having 3 different sizes of icons seems too much.

People seem to want item icons, even unselected, to be medium 91 pixels like old Poser. I can do that, but only if we give up the big icon for the selected item. 

SM will have to decide how they want to handle it. The small/big icon system was very popular with the design team. Perhaps they will go away from that and go with small-medium, because small/medium/large is very difficult to get working.

I don't think they expected the reaction to small/big to be so negative. For me, the small/big is great, because I want lots of items in the list, not 5 or 6 like old Poser, and despite being 49 years old, I wear reading glasses so have no trouble seeing them.

Apparently people would rather see 5 items than 25. OK. We'll fix it.
