Stretchy landscape pics too small

[gregorywilson]

I've read through several threads on this but have found no resolution.

When my galleries are viewed on a large screen, the stretchy algorithm seems to favor more thumbs than larger pics.

What can I do to make the picture as large as possible but still have at least 2 columns of thumbs (or even 1). On my monitor, it's showing 4 columns, sometimes 5.

Thanks!

I believe that, unless there is a small main photo, there will always be at least 3 columns of thumbs.

Asssuming that your browser is large enough, a small main photo with 4 columns of thumbs takes up less horizontal space that a medium main photo with 3 columns of thumbs.

My experimentation (with a large browser height) gives the following ordering:

Small + 2 columns
Small + 3 columns
Small + 4 columns
Medium + 3 columns
Medium + 4 columns
Large + 3 columns

Here's what I get (http://img.skitch.com/20080428-qbh34cu1aqmxcdxrmrribxfbes.jpg) using 2/3s of my 30" monitor. That's an X3 image, big as it gets, from a display copy standpoint :thumb
