List, card or grid: new preset thumbnails in Krotos Studio

The Krotos Studio 3.0 preset browser has three thumbnail modes. List fits a narrow window, card balances artwork and names, and grid shows hundreds of presets at once.

How you browse depends on how much screen you've given the app. A preset browser that looks right full screen is cramped beside a timeline, and the reverse. Krotos Studio 3.0 gives the browser three layouts so it fits either way.

Switching modes

Click the image icon at the right of the search bar to cycle through list, card and grid.

List

A narrow strip of artwork with the preset name across it. List packs the most presets into a small window, so it's the one to use when Krotos Studio is sized down beside your session.

Card

A square thumbnail with the name beside it. Card gives you enough artwork to recognise a preset at a glance without giving up the readable names.

Grid

Large artwork in a grid. Grid works best with the window open wide, where you can see hundreds of presets at once and browse by eye.

Pair it with resizing

The thumbnail modes and the resizable standalone window are designed to work together: grid for a big window, list for a small one. How resizing works.
