[QUOTE="rtv, post: 100687, member: 12309"] That's a tradeoff to please the greatest share of users. Just comment out line 2921 - 2936 in Database.cs to avoid creation of those album thumbs. Sure but DB lookup are much slower than .NET's file.exists() check... In addition SQLite is not really threadsafe and it would be a pain to "wait" for the thumb wouldn't it? ;) They are named based on the Path - just not using the full name but the CRC hash value of it. True - therefore I preferred duplicate thumbs of 4-40 KB over slowness. I did consider something similar for naming, too but that would have broken backward compatibility for users who already had good album thumbs for no gain. Did you see the General options --> Thumbnails config section? Currently Bav and me are considering to clean out and unify the used icon and image properties of listcontrols. In the end it will be similar like in MyPictures - large thumb for filmstrip and albumview only, the rest = small thumbs. btw: the "standard" size of those thumbs for Windows is 64x64 which is really looking awful :P [/QUOTE]
