You shouldn't of ticked this:

Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | Resolve cache path from current folder

untick it, then the cache will go in that path.

I did that, but the folder is still empty.

Ah. Thanks. I didn't know that. However, that presumably just reads the setting in the config, which isn't working as far as I can see. Until I can locate the cache (i.e. see it listed somewhere) I'm left to assume that thumbnails are not being cached.

What is your cache path now? Run this through the address bar:

Code: Select all

echo <xythumbs>;

It opens an empty tab at M:\XYPlorer\Thumbnails

Did you ever list a folder containing images in thumbnails view?

Ah. Well I have tested all the view options, but in the last month or so I have been through so many re-installations, including having a new machine and then a corrupted windows profile, that I must have forgotten to do that when I installed it on the new M: drive.

My apologies. The database is now visible. Thank you for your patience with my questions.
