Folder with images-thumbnail problem

(TRYING TO POST THIS FOR THE 2ND TIME. IN CASE OF A DOUBLE-POST, PLS REMOVE THE 2ND ONE, THX)

Hi and thanks for reading my post!

F-Stop is very cool, but sadly one thing bothers me…

When using nested folders (not only there, but I use them exclusively),
when you have a folder that contains both images and subfolders with images,
especially in list view, they all look the same. The thumbnails of both an image and a folder with images are simply an image. It is not easy to tell, whether it is a thumbnail of a folder or an image. In grid view it is a bit easier, because the number of images in the folder is very dominantly displayed over a thumbnail, but still thumbnails of both folders (with images) and images look quite the same.

Could you in some way make it more clear what is a folder and what is an image, pls?

Possible solutions:
-in settings: Folder thumbnail is always folder icon ON/OFF
-frame around the folder icon
-make the thumbnail of folder with images look like a stack of thumbnails. Two more images underneath should be enough to make the illusion of a stack.
-for thumbnail of a folder with images, use a thumbnail consisting of four small thumbnails of four images from the folder.

Hope you like this idea 🙂

Best regards!
