It's been a while since someone has complained about this, but I totally agree with everything. The stamps section is barely usable with these issues. No organization or way to tag stamps at all, and for some reason it stretches every stamp to be the same size.

I think several years ago, when the game was redone in c++, I tried fixing the stretching bug. But I had a lot of problems doing it (I wasn't as good a programmer, and I didn't understand all of the code yet). So I gave up and never looked at it again. The reason I haven't tried fixing it again is that I don't actually use official TPT ... I use my mod of the game, which doesn't have the issue.

I've had lots of ideas for how to fix the stamp browser. What I'm probably going to do (at least in my mod) is merge the online browser and the local save browser. And probably stick the stamp browser in there too. Once I do that you'll be able to search through stamps. I would also probably allow tagging them. There could also be more sorting options. This idea probably won't happen for a long time though, for now I'd love to fix the stamp browser stretching at least.

New TPT snapshot 164:
Fix stamp and local save thumbnails being stretched
Thumbnails (all types) now load much faster
Increase local browser ui size to make thumbnails larger

I'll release it in 94.2 at some point, there are a few things I haven't done yet for that version though (additional sdl2 fixes I want to make, fix the LIN32 version)

It will only downscale stamps, not upscale them. So things that are only a few pixels won't increase in size.

It could still use some improvements but is still much better than what it was before. Thumbnails don't look as clean as they do in my mod, even though it's the same code.
