XnView Software

1.

Problem: It is generating thumbnails for videos, even though I have video thumbnails turned off in "Custom Filter".

Result: If I browse a folder containing videos and pictures, the program freezes while it generates video thumbnails, even though video thumbnails never appear.

Solution: It should never generate video thumbnails if this is turned off in "Custom Filter".

2.

Problem: The program is generating folder thumbnails BEFORE generating thumbnails for the current folder.

Result: If I browse a folder containing 1 sub-folder with 1,000 videos, the program will freeze while it generates thumbnails for the 1,000 videos BEFORE generating thumbnails for the images in the folder I'm viewing.

Solution: XnView should always generate thumbnails for the visible files in the current folder first BEFORE generating folder thumbnails.

1. could confirm this, disabling the custom filter for thumbnail video did indeed cause the thumbnail not to appear, but it seem it still generating the thumbnail in the background since the progress bar are slow when browsing a folder with a lot of video.

2. agree on this

I can't confirm, i have no video thumbnails built if this settings is off. You have perhaps the thumbnails already in the cache?

Right

Okay i just did another test,
video thumbnail turned off in custom filter

Browsing folder with many MKV file, progress bar goes very fast
Browsing folder with many mp4 file, progress bar goes slow

by cache do you mean catalog? if yes then the test with the catalog option turned off
