hello,
the first dir where i save uncompressed thumbnails will crash in xnviews browser when i move to another folder and then back to this one!
im using xp sp1
is it faster on a slow machine if you save them uncompressed?

something else, if i access a dir with pictures already cached in the xnbrowser, everything is blinking for 2 blinks of an eye, which is a little annoying.seems the screen is refreshed to times very fast..

I can't re-produce any of this, however this is my first time using the cache feature in XnView and I prefer the Lossless ZIP compression. I did try testing the No Compression as well.

What do you mean by slow machine - Hard disk or CPU?

yes it worked, but again if the thumbnails were saved in uncompressed form it crashes when i go to this directory via the thumbnail browser (when clicking on the dir icon ".."
there is no problem if i save them in zip...

I still can't re-produce this problem, can you create a screenshot of the crash?

As for the blinking, again I don't have that problem.
