p.1 #1 · win explorer thumbnail question | |
I have, like many of us, thousands of images, and when I explore the folders containing the images, I find myself waiting for the computer to finish drawing thumbnails of each image to display in the file list. Even if I choose "list" as the display option, the computer is STILL drawing the damn thumbnails and using up CPU cycles doing it, even though it's only displaying the Photoshop icon next to each filename. I can tell because it goes along slowly displacing the default icon with the photoshop icon, one file at a time, and there is a lot of disk drive noise for each displacement, exactly as when it draws thumbnails. And if I switch to an actual thumbnail view, they appear instantly, already drawn.
I want to give Windows Explorer a global command to stop drawing thumbnails of graphic files. I know what they are by their names and folders, and I don't need to look at each one in WinExplorer.. I do my "looking" in PS..
does anyone by any chance know how to tell WinExplorer not to bother drawing thumbs?
I've consulted many experts (today even a Geeks On Call guy) and nobody ever heard of such a command. I'm hoping this forum will come through for me.
Thanks
