Setting to Never Cache Certain Folders
I would like to automatically exclude certain folders (and certain drives) from the XnView thumbnail cache.
Please consider implementing a "black list" functionality for folders for which XnView should never cache the thumbs...

The folder cache must be rewritten in a future release...JohnFredC wrote:I would like to automatically exclude certain folders (and certain drives) from the XnView thumbnail cache.

Other useful options have occurred to me in the years since my original suggestion:
1. Option: Do not cache thumbs for folders with fewer than n images
2. Option: Do not cache thumbs of images with filesize < n bytes
3. Option: Do not cache thumbs of images with dimensions < a certain size (such as 320x200, par example)
A generic dialog (a la TC) for named filter definition would simplify this. Then one could specific explicitly which folders to cache or black-list using a named filter definition to exclude matching folders or files.
Although this schema might seem over-kill to most users, my XnView thumbs cache is already 0.5Gb, so additional caching rules would help tame the beast.

New Cache function: Exclude all excepted...
Or probably easier to do, a new cache function: "Exclude all excepted these folders & sub-folders..." ?

Not only a black & white list but a composite list will be useful:
The easier way is to have a black and a white list for the cache, but a composite list will be better.
A- a White list do only that: Include these folders and subfolders
B- a black list do only that: Exclude these folders and subfolders
C- a composite list is useful in this case: "Exclude all excepted these folders & sub-folders..."
