I was talking to one of our patrons today and they pointed out that when a collection in DSpace 7.6E is displayed in Tile mode, the thumbnails are large and often blurry, as shown below.  They are clear when the display is in List mode.  Is there any fix for this so that the thumbnails resize properly when they are in Tile mode?

Hi Marianne,

For what it's worth, I checked a DSpace 8.3 repository and it also had blurry images when in tile/grid mode.

I checked another DSpace repository, running 9.2, and the images looked great in both list and tile/grid modes.

All best,

Good to know, Kimberly!  Thank you!

Does anyone have any fixes that have resolved this problem in versions before 9.2?

Hi!

Increasing thumbnail.maxwidth and thumbnail.maxheight (say, twice) should help. After regenerating, of course.
WBR,
