Switching directorys should immediatelly cancel out any kind of thumbnail generation or metadata extraction.
I often get stuck on folders because XNview has a hard time dealing with some files.
Either that, or give me a configurable timeout. It's no fun waiting about 30 seconds until the program finally starts responding again.

Get the bugs fixed, THEN start adding features. It sucks, but someone has to do it.

You do not have this time if thumbnail generation is finished??Danny wrote:Switching directorys should immediatelly cancel out any kind of thumbnail generation or metadata extraction.

Oh yes, it's normal for PDF, xnview start a process for that...Danny wrote:What do you mean? Of course, if it doesn't choke on some (mostly video) file, everything works as it should. But on some files it takes forever to squeez out a thumbnail - or it takes forever for the program just to find out it can't extract a thumbnail at all (happens a lot for pdfs).
