MyPictures Thumbnail Priority

wlinaz · 2005-09-08, 01:52

I have one directory with 3000+ pictures (Got me a cool SLR digital cam last year). When I fire up mediaportal on this directory it takes a long time to build the thumbs and get to the last page.

Would it be possible to sync the build of the thumbs to the page currently viewed?

Even better, the size required for the current pages' view style? I mean why build both.

Just a thought, I'll probably try to categorize my photos someday.

Originally I ran this on 0.1.3. Updated to 0.2.0 and it seems to be the same.

P.S. this is my first post so I'd like to add to the creators/ developers... THANK YOU!

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread!

welcome to the boards.

In regards to a directory with 3000 photos, I think your best bet is to get yourself some type of directory structure. Even windows will have issues if you try to have previews turned on in explorer (if it's not cacheing thumbnails)
