I have a large number of online galleries with CE3, I've just upgraded to CE4 and found out that CE4 doesn't have the masonry view I used previously. The options that are in CE4 are not what I want and I'm not prepared to fiddle about for hours with custom css (it hurts my head and I don't understand it).
So the question is when I exported my galleries with CE3 the thumbnails are of a set size, using the Iconic view in CE4 do I have to export all my galleries again with the thumbnails the correct size to fill the auto index thumbnail boxes?

your thumbnails will fill the iconic index's album space. So if that space is larger than your thumbnails, then you'll see quality loss. You'll likely need to change thumbnail size and re-export/upload. Or create custom thumbnails and direct the index to them via Album Info > thumbnails in CE3 Gallery.
That can be done either by filling out the album info area and then exporting and uploading only the autoindex.xml file or you can edit the autoindex.xml file manually and upload.
If you're using Publisher, this will be easier. You could upload a custom thumbnail to the albums thumbnail folder and choose it in the Album edit dialog: http://ce3wiki.theturninggate.net/doku. … c_settings
Matt has a couple of strategies for custom thumbnails here: http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … thumbnails

I'll also point out that custom thumbnails are a lot easier in CE4 than they were in CE3. Going into CE4 development, improving custom thumbnails was a big item on my personal wishlist.
