    I do find the update annoying; I judge wether or not to open a save by the art. If it says "engine", it could be a pot of burning oil, so I can't go by the title. I could look, see one called "Enjin", and it turns out to be the best engine TPT has ever seen, and I could tell by looking.

    Please, for the good of TPT, bring back deco!

    The best saves sometimes don't use decoration at all. You'll have to open every save individually, like you always have, to see how good something really is.

    I use the thumbnail is to get a good idea of the save. Mostly I skip over the nooby bombs and whatnot and look at the ones that seem decent. Now they all look nooby.

     

    EDIT: I did not read this before I posted it...

    Yes. They do. Do I have 3 hours on a computer? Yes i do. Do I want to spend half that time opening saves at random because I cannot tell what saves are good or not? No. Unlike some people apparently, I can usually judge a save 99% accurately as to what it contains by the thumbnail. All this does, removing decor from the thumbnail, is basically being deceitful to a viewer. Doing this doesn't change art. All you are doing is changing the face on a book we all know to hold the same contents. Doing this is wrong on so many levels.

    Actually, I have to open -every- save I go by to see what's inside of it, because it's almost impossible to tell what's in a save, even moreso with deco enabled for thumbnails.

    I have to disagree. You can tell what an object is with deco. Without it, it is just a blob of color that has nothing to do with object being created.

    Haha, it's so much fun to see people get upset at such a little thing.

    I'm not even sure why people care.... oh, it's because some users don't use elements beside DMND in their saves anymore... turning TPT into a DeviantArt in MS Paint. Oh well.

    Art is half of it. Saves are part function, part decoration.

    Taking that away is taking part of the save.
