Thumb-gen progress counter adjustment

Post by bdeshi »

I knew XY used to show a counter during thumb generation:

Code: Select all

Creating 56/1024 image.jpeg
It worked as a nice progress report, I could get a rough idea for how much longer I needed to wait. But I wasn't noticing this counter anymore for a good many versions.
Today I realize it's always been there, but was getting repeatedly displaced by subsequent messages:

Code: Select all

Creating thumb: image.jpeg
Created thumb 56/1024: image.jpeg
Creating thumb: image2.jpeg
Created thumb 57/1024: image2.jpeg
Since these messages rush by too fast, the counter text is practically never visible (the "creating thumb: ..." lines seem to get all the display time). But if the messages went like this:

Code: Select all

Creating thumb 56/1024: image.jpeg
Created thumb  56/1024: image.jpeg
Creating thumb 57/1024: image2.jpeg
Created thumb  57/1024: image2.jpeg
Then the counter would remain readable. Or better yet,

Code: Select all

56/1024 - creating thumb: image.jpeg
56/1024 - created thumb: image.jpeg
57/1024 - creating thumb: image2.jpeg
57/1024 - created  thumb: image2.jpeg
...
1024 thumbs created or updated.

I'm not getting these alternating status messages, also not in fresh. What are your thumbnail settings, or what do you do to get them?

I'm only seeing the status messages, "Creating thumb: ..." without the counter until the end of creation and then I see the final message, "66 thumbnails created or updated (crisp)." Though at some time in the past I remember seeing what Sammay pointed out.

Another problem here is that the total number of thumbs is never known, only the total number of files. So when 10 new thumbnails are created in a folder of 1024 files you would see "1/1024 ... 10/1024" which would be very misleading. I think that's why I removed it.

Create all thumbnails at once: enabled. I went to a folder with a sufficient amount of photos, then while the thumbnails were getting created, just press+held on the scrollbar. This freezes the status bar messages. Sometimes I can freeze it with the counter message on screen.

That's normal. Windows interrupts processing while the mouse is down on the scrollbar.

BTW, I like your status bar icons. :tup:

Okay... so what about the original topics of making the counters more visible?
