Im using for several weeks. Always almost work.

But... Some names, or characters, make thumbail wont work. Like ( - # | ) and some characters combinations that the folder picks a different image to make thumbnail.

Can you tell us a little more of your secrets? Maybe even an example of a filename that doesn't work?

Like this: In main folder, I see this thumbnail:
14.jpg
14.jpg (67.65 KiB) Viewed 612 times
But, inside this folder, has two files. The thumbnail is renamed correctly, like the folder. But thumb is showing another one.
15.jpg
15.jpg (52.55 KiB) Viewed 612 times
It fails in 0,001% of the folders. I tried remove spaces and/or special characters. Sometimes it works. But in extreme cases, not.

Does it help if you refresh that thumbnail?

I tried. Both types (selected and all thumbnails in view -> cache)

Im going to place some examples that I found here. Maybe you can recognize some pattern that I missed:

I checked: There is no desktop.ini or other files that can get XY confused.

I just found something interesting:

1. I tried to rename. To random names. No name works.

2. I tried to re-save original jpg, no works

3. I tried to save as a PNG file. Works.

So... There is something about a jpeg file. Not about the name. Im going to dig more.

If you rename the folder the thumbnail is not auto-updated in the cache. As I said you have to refresh the thumbnail (View | Caches | Refresh Selected Thumbnails).

Got it: it's the UPPER CASE extension! What a pathetic bug. :oops: Next beta. Thanks for the report. :tup:
