User reviews

Not a smart move from Synology. This extensions creates white thumbnails for all my images. Now i have to recreate them without the extension. It used to work so good before this (on the NAS). Why the change? no one likes this.

压根用不了，过往照片无法生成thumbnail

à quoi sert mon NAS maintenant ? je dois installer des logiciels autres pour pouvoir accéder à une fonctionnalité présente auparavant... c'est inacceptable. Revenez sur vos pas messieurs
