Breaking Changes
API Alterada: nativeImage.createThumbnailFromPath(path, size)
The maxSize parameter has been changed to size to reflect that the size passed in will be the size the thumbnail created. Previously, Windows would not scale the image up if it were smaller than maxSize, and macOS would always set the size to maxSize. Behavior is now the same across platforms.
// a 128x128 image.
const imagePath = path.join('path', 'to', 'capybara.png');
// Scaling up a smaller image.
const upSize = { width: 256, height: 256 };
nativeImage.createThumbnailFromPath(imagePath, upSize).then((result) => {
console.log(result.getSize()); // { width: 256, height: 256 }
});
// Scaling down a larger image.
const downSize = { width: 64, height: 64 };
nativeImage.createThumbnailFromPath(imagePath, downSize).then((result) => {
console.log(result.getSize()); // { width: 64, height: 64 }
});
