Description

Overview of the Feature Request

Increase the maximum resolution, but not necessarily the display area, of uploaded dataset thumbnail images.

With modern day bandwith and high resolution screens, a resolution of 48 x 48 seems to restrictive. A resolution of 96 x 96, 128 x 128 or even 256 x 256 would be preferable.

Another possibility is to add the option to store two versions of the thumbnail image:

  1. One in 48 x 48 to be used in the list view
  2. One in a higher resolution only to be used in the detail view.

What kind of user is the feature intended for?

All users

What inspired the request?

The finer details of our thumbnail images are not discernible in the extremely low resolution. A small increase in resolution could make them more usable without harming the responsiveness too much.
