I have my music well organised into folders for each album which each contain a folder.jpg. Using 0.2.2.0 I scanned in all my music and then notices
d that the thumbs\music\albums now contains 13,000 jpeg images! Why are the images being duplicated? MyMusic only ever shows 15 icons per page as it is, surely any pc is fast enough to generate 15 icons on the fly using the original folder.jpg images?

Is there a way to turn off this insane thumbnail creation?

I have noticed thumbnail generation seems to pervade MediaPortal in general bloating it for negligable performance gain. MyPhotos already has thumbs.db but creates even more thumbs (1 file per image)
