I have a couple of questions on very different topics that I've wanted to ask for a long time.
1) When I need to align the contents of my NAS to moOde, I launch the update library function and everything is updated correctly and quickly. I wonder what happens to thumbnails. Obviously, if it wasn't there, now it is, but, for example, if before I had a 300x300 one, and now a 1000x1000 one, even if I view it at the highest possible definition, which is 600x600 (the one I set), the thumbnail is generated from the newest one (1000), or remains the previous one (300). Is the replacement performed with update library? Does running a library update make thumbnail regeneration useless? What does thumbnail regeneration do that update library doesn't?
2) Camilla DSP. I can't figure out how to use it. I have a lot of confusion in my head, perhaps because I have not understood what it is for and what it does. I have seen that it is gaining more and more space within moOde, but the fact remains that I haven't found an easily understandable user guide (for dummies) on the web. Camilla, I believe, should correct the sound in the listening environment, but measuring tools would be needed to determine the corrections to be made, which few people have, so what's the point of all the space and importance that is given to Camilla, (very sophisticated tool that exists in a better hardware version)? Wouldn't a 20 band equalizer be more useful? Is Camilla only useful for headphones? Which approach can be advisable?

Hi,
1. if a thumbnail is present, it won't be generated; to have the new one show up you need to rebuild the thumbnail cache (and it can take a while)
2. thumbnail generation does exactly what its name implies: it generates the thumbnails, update library, similarly, updates the MPD music database with the new albums/tracks you added; it then runs the thumbnail generator, which will generate the missing images.
Bare in mind that even if regenerating the thumbnails from scratch, you could still be seeing the old image, cached by the browser; so it's always convenient to clear the browser's cache in these scenarios.
Concerning Camilla DSP I cannot help you; never used so far, even if I do want to try it out.
