Thumbnail Generator

Thumbnails are very useful images that are used in a variety of areas, especially in websites and in programs, however, converting images to thumbnails can be difficult, with special programs often required. Thumbnail Generator is an application that allows users to convert single or multiple images at once into thumbnail images, with a customizable resolution and file postfix.

An extremely basic interface that is confusing and not immediately apparent in how to use it

The design of Thumbnail Generator leaves a lot to be desired, with a strange layout that will leave many users wondering on how exactly to use the program or to achieve the desired result. The application does not use a a standard file directory system and there is no direct way to select files via the actual application, instead files must be dragged into the program manually.
The choice to focus on a "drag and drop" system means that the batch conversion aspect of the program is significantly hampered and reduced. Users will find it difficult to drag multiple files into the application at once, especially if they are stored in different locations. This problem also extends to the file output, users cannot choose a custom directory for the files to be generated in.

A lack of options to control how the process works, that causes some severe problems 

Unfortunately, the issues with Thumbnail Generator continue into other areas of the program. One of the other big problems that the application presents is the lack of proper resolution control. In an effort to preserve quality, Thumbnail Generator allows only a general resolution to be selected and it will find the best axis for it.
If users have specific requirements such as a thumbnail that must meet specific resolution requires, then Thumbnail Generator is almost useless. Users should at least have the option to set a specific X and Y axis resolution, rather than the automated resolution mode. There is also no rotate option, no editing options of any kind, no effects, no crop and so on.

A program that is out performed by various other solutions and will not satisfy most users

All in all, Thumbnail Generator will not meet most users standards, the interface is lacking several essential features that most will have come to expect. While the application does work, getting it to work is the bigger issue, as well as the lack of precise control.
