New Folder View in 4.10.x.x is really bad


Recommended Posts

My Emby Server recently updated to 4.10.x.x and I noticed the Thumbnails are now shrunk and pasted onto a "Folder" when viewed in Folder View mode.
I reverted back to 4.9.5.0 and locked the server from updating automatically in order to keep the old Folder View without the Folder Outline.
Is there a way to force the old Folder View on 4.10+?
I didn't like the new look.

Hi, doesn't it make it easier to spot which item is a folder and which is not?

Anyway, we plan to add an option to disable this.

Hey Luke,

I've always used Poster view for single files,
And Thumbnail view for Folders.
My users know when they see a Thumbnail, they know there are multiple files in them.
Take my Series section vs Movies section pictures for example.

Right the common complaint that we've seen over the years with folder view is that it's hard to tell what's a folder and what's a file. The icon in the upper left is not enough to quickly tell from a glance.

So that was the thinking behind making the folders look more like what you would see in a file browser. But there are some users who don't like this so we'll be adding an option to control it.
