| | Speed up thumbnails loading? Hi, I have a couple of folders with quite a number of pictures in them and have the folders set to display them as thumbnails. But sadly only the files within the view of explorer get 'loaded' to thumbnails. And quitte slowly too. ![]() In XP if I scrolled down, explorer would load all graphic files as thumbnails from the bottom of the list all the way up. Is there is way of having Vista do this as well? Of am I stuck on loading thumbnails on 'view-range' only? Sebastiaan |

| | Re: Speed up thumbnails loading? I noticed the same thing and found a couple free thumbnail & image viewing programs which do load all the thumbnails when you move to a folder (CPU goes to near 100% while it loads all the thumbnails, but afterward you can scroll up/down and all the thumbnails are instantly there.) Try these free programs: XnView FastStone Image Viewer (free for home use) There's also a nice Duplicate Image Finder ($10) at http://www.rmsft.com/ (not an exact duplicate file finder, more of a fuzzy "these two pictures look quite alike" finder.)

| | Re: Speed up thumbnails loading? Those programs do preload all thumbnails, but those are more like catalogmanagers. In my situation I have thumbnails done by explorer and use Picaview to view pictures I would like to view on screen. And the programs don't use explorer as a way to work with the pictures. Picaview in this matter is a plugin to explorer.exe which allows to preview and open the picture (lightweight, not with fat programs like Picture Galary).

On the bottom of this page you find a screenshot of a thumbnail listing: http://www.xyplorer.com/release_7.50.htm XYplorer optionally caches thumbnails, so any non-first visit to a folder is lightning fast. Plus it has the so-called Mouse-Down-Blow-Up feature: left mouse button down on a thumbnail will pop up a full size preview as long as you hold the button down. Very useful! http://www.xyplorer.com/ Don |

| | Re: Speed up thumbnails loading? It's not completely what I was looking for (its still outside explorer itself) but this program will definitely helpout weeding out the majority of files to ditch. Sofar I use it with 'Details with Thumbnails #1 128x96' and it works decently sofar. Thanks for the tip on this program.
