Thumbnailing follow up

Post by soulky »

1. Now I can confirm that the status bar for thumbnailing says it has completed 100%. But it has not thumbnailed all files.
The number of thumbnails in cache setting is only 50% of the files present.
So there is a real issue.
2. Thumbnailing seems to skip files but will thumbnail them later. I don´t know why this happends. As thumbnailing does not occur according to the selected view (filter) maybe there is an issue that thumbnailing follows its own algotrithm while the display view is different fromit. It is just a guess.

In any case the thumbnaling does not work does not work well.

I think I can confirm that the order in which thumbnailing occurs for an entire folder is always different from the selected view.
This behaviour makes MP look like it would skip certain files but really will thumbnailing them later.
For example: Sort order is :

!AFile
!BFile
!CFile
! AFile
! Bfile
! CFile

But thumbnailing order is:
! AFile
! BFile
! CFile
!AFile
!BFile
!CFile

I have already reported the bug that when the display gets filterd thumbnailing does not work on the filtered display.
Now it seems, that thumbnailing is always different from the view, which is a bug.

I would expect to behave it this way:

If the entire folder is visible, thumbnailing shold follow the sorted view. If the user scrolls the display, thumbnailing should process the visible parts first and then resume where it was before.

If the view hasbeen filtered, thumbnailing should process the filtered view first and then resume regular thumbnailing.

If you use filter 'quick search' or filter by, right there is a problem in thumbnailing...
For 1), no filter and 'create for whole folder' enabled??

Yes, I simply start xnviemp browser thats all. And yes a lot of files.

I have said this before: Xnviemp might work really well with a small number of files. Using it on jpgs with 2000 files in a folder there are not big issues.
But with 40.000+ video files in one folder xnviewmp hast really big big problems.

Not really. I have not measured it constantly. Sometimes 250MB and more, sometimes less.
