Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 13511339, 7 years agoVersion 7.6 messed up my previous dial-thumbnails. ALL OF THEM got a white border on top (setting: No title on dials), even they are all set up to be "centered" (dial ratio: fix 1×1). With version 7.5 they looked fine. Hope this will be fixed very, very soon! Thanks.
Edit: I found out, if "No title on dials" and ALSO "Dial names on bottom" is activated, you can avoid this bug.
BTW: I am expecting on "Refresh dials" to reload and refresh MY "Custom stored thumbnail file" (if chosen) and not to rebuild the dials with a web page preview!
P.S. Dial ratio seems to be changed again, but sadly not to be exact square (in v7.5 the were 256×246, in v7.6 they are now 256×249).
Is it so difficult to make them "at least" exact square (1:1, e. g. 256×256, 128×128 etc) if "dial ratio" is set "fix: 1×1?
Now – to avoid the white border – I have to edit all my customized thumbs. Too bad!

Edit 2 (after bug fix 7.7):
Many thanks to the developer, who instantly fixed the bug described in my review (well, it still appears, if you use the "No title on dials" in combination with "Dial names on bottom" activated – then on the bottom).
Anyway, it works for me now, deactivating "Dial names on bottom".
For his (developer's) very fast bug fix (within 1-2 hours!) I am updating my rating to 3.5 stars.
But It's still not understandable, why WE cannot have such a SIMPLE THING like REAL "square thumbs", and why the author uses really exotic thumbs' ratios, that even seem to change between versions – instead of making them simply SQUARE! (like most of all other programs/apps in a similar context do). Should all users edit all their customized image files on every GSD update? That's not very handy, isn't it.
Although I am quite happy for the add-on itself, substituting the out-dated "Speed Dial" (by Josep del Rio).
Kind regards,
Padrocker
