Hi,

I am glad the program is useful!

I'll look into this now, via some kind of zoom in and out option. It's very
important to keep the current size available as the default,  because for
users on netbooks and other small screens, if the picture is any bigger the
window will not display properly on their tiny screens.

One thing to keep in mind is that with some file formats, the thumbnails are
actually not very big. Rapid Photo Downloader only extracts thumbnails of
photos; for performance reasons, it does not create them. This means for
some file formats, the thumbnails will not look so great when scaled up.
But for those users whose eyes are not as good as they used to be,  I
suspect that they would rather see it bigger than smaller.
