1.11.2 XnView MP wasting time on loading txt files in folders (for thumbs?)

[gyoical]

OS: Windows 11 64bit 25H2 26200.8655

I don't know if it's a bug. (Maybe it's a design choice, or maybe a tweak in config can avoid this.) I feel like it has always been behaving like this, definitely not just in recent versions.

When XnView MP encounters a folder that has lots of txt files (Let's say 10,000), it would spend a long time loading those txt files. (While I already chose not to show nor have thumbs for text files) I can see it trying to load every single txt from Windows Resource Monitor. And it won't start generating thumbnails for images until the process is done.

It doesn't happen if I choose not to generate thumbs for folders.
