Previews take a long time to load

Post by alee001 »

Since updating to version 1.9.4, every time I turn on my computer (Win11) and open XnView MP, it takes a long time to load the preview. For example, 5,000 images takes 4 minutes; 3,000 folders takes 9 minutes?!

I tried using version 1.9.3 for the same comparison, and both HDD and SSD load in just 10 seconds.

Is this related to the metadata update or a problem with the new version?

The metadata update add a little delay only the first time...
The problem is only after a startup of system?

It took me four hours to update the metadata.

This issue occurs every time I start my computer or reboot my system. Now, every time I access a folder or exit a folder, Xnview MP takes a long time to load and preview.

Strangely, I have to wait for the program to run for a while before the loading speed returns to normal.
