A method for use with a system storing a myriad of digital media files, the method comprising the steps of: generating a myriad of first thumbnail images, each first thumbnail image corresponding to one of the digital media files, each first thumbnail image having lower resolution and smaller dimensions than the corresponding digital media file, each first thumbnail image having first dimensions; displaying a subset of the first thumbnail images, the subset comprising more than one and less than all of the myriad of first thumbnail images, the subset created as a result of input from a first user; receiving a configuration command from a second user, the configuration command indicative of second dimensions differing from the first dimensions; generating a myriad of second thumbnail images based on the configuration command from the second user, each second thumbnail image corresponding to one of the digital media, each second thumbnail image having lower resolution and smaller dimensions than the corresponding digital media file, each second thumbnail image having second dimensions; and displaying a subset of the second thumbnail images, the subset comprising more than one and less than all of the myriad of second thumbnail images, the subset created as a result of input from a third user.
