petr 2011-12-07 21:17 developer ~0029357	It's really hard to make something better with that as it's using thumbs generated for AA view which is 160x160 (texture for Art Browser is 256x256 now).

lowlander 2011-12-07 21:22 developer ~0029359	Maybe up to x height it could use thumbnails and beyond x height it uses original art files? Or there is a user option where users can choose between thumbnails (faster) and original art (slower). Especially in a more media center centric setup and even more with movies the art quality is important in the Art Browser.
