Optimization for Animation Frames

Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2007 9:18 pm

I use XNView for viewing animation frames. There are MANY animation frames and they are frequently viewed across a network. I do all my viewing in list detail mode... not thumbnails.

So for example, I might be looking at a directory across the network that contains 10445 animation frames.

I was doing this recently and it seems slow and XNView crashed while trying to do this.

What I am wondering is are there any optimizations that can be set to make this process faster and more stable. For example, I know this is a lot of frames. I do NOT want to have thumbnails generated for all the frames in the directory. I merely want to see the list of frames and when I click on a single frame... see it in the preview thumbnail. When I double-click it, view it in the large view. If I click the spacebar, show me the next frame, etc.

I usually only need to view a few specific frames to check for errors, etc.

Are there settings that will optimize this type of viewing?

Thanks!
