+## suggested fix for thumbnail size bug
+
+I've tracked down the "always showing the 96x96 thumbnails" bug!
+
+The problem is in the pagetemplate function, which calls "thumbnail" to determine the name of the thumbnail image to use. As you know, the "img" method of generating thumbnails includes the size of the thumbnail as part of its name (to ensure that resizing thumbnails will create a new file of the correct size). The problem is... that in the pagetemplate function, the thumbnailsize is NOT passed in to the call to "thumbnail", so it always returns the default size, 96x96. Hence nothing that anyone can do will change the thumbnails to anything else. Oh, the different-sized thumbnail images ARE created, but they're never linked to.
+
+Here's a context-diff of my fix:

+## bug: inability to show more than 10 items
+
+I've found another bug. The album plugin doesn't allow one to have more than 10 items in an album section. This is because it uses "inline" to display album sections, and the default for inline is to show only 10 items. So it only shows 10 items.
+
+What would be good is if the album directive could have a "show" parameter which is passed on to preprocess_inline, so that users could decide how many items to show (including ALL of them, if they give show=0).

+## bug?: all albums and pages become interdependent
+*(ikiwiki master branch 2014-06-06 and smcv album4 branch)*
+
+On a site with the following structure where all album$n.mdwn files have the ``[[!album]]`` directive set. All albums and albumviewers get rebuilt whenever any one of the pages is touched and the command ``ikiwiki --setup debug.setup --refresh --verbose`` is issued.
+
+ /index.mdwn
+ |-album01.mdwn
+ |-album01/
+ | |-imgA.jpg
+ | |-imgB.jpg
+ |
+ |-album02.mdwn
+ |-album02/
+ | |-imgC.jpg
+ | |-imgD.jpg
+ |
+ |-album03.mdwn
+ |-album03/
+ | |-imgE.jpg
+ | |-imgF.jpg
+
+This happens even if the indexpage has no links and when the tree is one level deeper than above with a folder between the index and each ``album$0n`` tuple. Touching index.mdwn rebuilds for instance imgF viewer and output like for example the following as a result of changing ``album01.mdwn`` and issuing ``ikiwiki --setup debug.setup --refresh --verbose``
+
+ building album02/imgC, its previous or next page has changed
+ building album03/imgE, its previous or next page has changed
+ building album02.mdwn, which depends on album02/imgC
+
+In other words using the album plugin means all changes trigger full rebuilds (as far as I can tell). With my workflow this hasn't been much of an issue as my sites are static and updated maximum once a week but it does make comments unfeasible.
+
+Perhaps there is something in my setup that triggers this problem? If anyone has an ikiwiki album installation where ``--refresh`` limits the scope of the rebuild to just one album I'd be interested to hear. See <http://img.kalleswork.net> for an live website that has this problem. I've tested a simpler debug site without any customization as well. --[[kjs]]
