XYplorer Beta Club

not sure, fishing here. There are no firewall rules in place denying xyplorer from downloading the linked content in the EML files.
Funnily enough, I had the same issue on another win10 pro machine. Preview of EML files did not work until restart, I don't see why but it was reproducible.

any reason why the preview doesn't download web-content if it already plugs into TB?

yes... it was and is.
What resolved it now was a restart, I have had a similar issue with using an *.heif capable image previewer ...

Hi, I just updated to 21.00 and to my delight I saw message preview being implemented. However, it doesn't seem to work. I don't see *.eml previews other than plain text/raw. Thunderbird is installed, the *.eml files I create by dragging and dropping mails from TB to any folder look just as expected...

I would put money on it being an image metadata column as the cause and you're absolutely right! That was it! :appl: For whatever reason all columns were selected (which I did not recall doing). I usually have a custom layout loaded with only the necessary ones. This possibility entirely eluded me,...

hm, that's a bummer. Thank you for trying! I suppose fresh; removes any settings, shortcuts, catalogs? I'm currently not at the computer to check that but it sounds like I would lose all settings, history etc. which would cost a lot of time to reset too. But before it doesn't work at all, I'll use a...

fresh;

now that worked! I have attached a copy of the ini file but I had to clean many paths, search keywords etc. because those contained classified information/strings. sorry, no way around that!

I've tested all file types that come to mind... it's just happening with certain images!!!
Tif and JPG --> yes, slowdown while loading folder
bmp --> NO slowdown...

... very strange

yes, the moment the images are gone the folder loads quickly again copy/pasting the images to make more of them (while in the folder) also is much slower than just the file operation, the XYPlorer refresh than takes the same time as loading the folder again test image attached (it's a standard 1024...

no, but in our Sophos Endpoint solution nothing was changed either, just confirmed. We tested it while deactivated... no change.

deactivating "Show shortcut overlays" didn't help.

Here's the GIF of a sample folder with ONLY 18 images. The delay increases with the amount of images in the folder, no other files have this impact! XYPlorer is unusable at this point, no idea what happend.

no... it's just as slow.

here you go.
fun fact though ... I have not touched any of these settings and it worked well before!

Hi, I'm dealing with a problem where some browsing of network folders with 16bit tif images is VERY slow (takes roughly .5s for each additional image file open) when windows explorer at the same time just works normally on the same folders. The parent directories or even subfolders work quickly if t...
