XYplorer Beta Club

Yeah I've been dealing with XY's thumbnails for quite some time and never encountered this. What surprised me is that two times I had deleted those bad thumbnail cache files, restarted XY, accessed the image folder, and XY used the same bad hash files that I previously deleted. It wasn't until I per...

I followed the steps I layed out above: delete cache files, delete entry in XYthumbs.txt, save all settings, closed XYplorer, rebooted, started XY and traveled to the subject folder. After XY built about 12 thumbnails including one of the text label image files, I stopped the thumbnail building and ...

Honestly I'm no longer thinking that script had anything to do with it. The script simply made an image file with text in. It refreshed that one selected thumbnail, but did not accomplish the folder rebuildling CID #501. I did rewrite it to make the image file dimemsions a multiple of my thumbnail s...

Well it may be worth my time. I say that because I deleted the 2 associated cache files, restarted XYplorer, and built the 590 thumbnails and guess what? The cache file names used again are 00000000000000000000000000000000.dbits and ini. My SSD taking a beating. I placed a number of the same image f...

I have a good feeling that it may be due to the label image file generated by Image Magic (e.g., 235x251). The image file dimensions are proportionally based on the text length and point size and not a standard which XY could then generate a thumbnail image properly. The ini and dbits files are what...

Well I'm starting to believe it has something to do with running this small script below. It simply places a label thumbnail file in the image folder at locations the user selects. I'm not sure how it may be affecting the thumbnail file name - the actual hash. This folder of an Alaska trip has a thu...

ce670.jpg 504e2.jpg As stated earlier when I ran text get( "thumbs_cache"); it's the file ending with 504e2 that is being used. I only picked up on this by running my thumbnail maintenance script since it gives a listing of all thumbnail caches and these both came out adjacent to each oth...

That's what I did in my first post.

Yes jupe both are listed in the XYthumbs.txt file as: H:\Pictures\Caribbean Holidays Cruise 2024\|240x240|b3b63c338c34750e6a8f6815e30504e2 H:\Pictures\Caribbean Holidays Cruise 2024\|240x240|cc28206ef594b7394dd3677b1bace670 When I ran text get("thumbs_cache"); in that image folder the resu...

Hey Don. Happy New Year. How is it possible that I ended up with 2 thumbnail cache file pairs (ini and dbits) for the same identical folder with the same thumbnail size when the cache file name is based on the hash of file name and thumbnail size and zoom settings? I thought it shouldn't matter if s...

Go figure (info only). I disabled the Monaco preview handler in Power Toys File Explorer Add-ons and rebooted, and now I get this with text get("previewhandler", "txt"); Preview handler for txt files GUID: {1531d583-8375-4d3f-b5fb-d23bbd169f22} DefaultName: Windows TXT Previewer ...

I'm not disagreeing with you, but how can I get this for "preview handler" if that's the case? And I'm seeing txt and ini files when hovering a file's icon. Could it be because XY's native is currently not working? Just wondering. text get("previewhandler", "txt"); // i...

I just checked...

It may be native, but it looks like Monaco takes over though maybe because native isn't functioning properly. Scroll down on that site to see the yellow high-lighted statement. Enabling the preview handlers will override other preview handlers already installed - there have been reports of incompati...

To address my previous post I must have been using certain elements of MS Power Toys without knowing it. It doesn't seem to have affected other viewers like ImageEye for image files or PDF Exchange Viewer for PDFs. I'm not sure if I should mess with it now. I'll have to research it. Power Toys File ...
