Thumbnails double entries

[bossi]

nevermind
its actually designed to be that way as seen in

Code: Select all

but still would appreciate allowing us to inject own thumbnails , circumventing the thumbnailing logic

You can. Check out SC setthumb.

bad wording by me , i meant disable native caching completely and just use thumbs from a CustomColumn )

reason is :
99% of media collections are static and dont need micromanagement of thumbs in regards of ModifDate etc.
think of 20-100 TB in size .
XY is perfectly capable of loading 50K items with IMG column enabled and loading 50K thumbnails within seconds in DetailsView , native ThumbView would start re-chaching everything depending on <curpath> .

another thing i noticed :

doing a query like

Code: Select all

F:\mp4\yt\ch\a|F:\mp4\yt\ch\b|F:\mp4\yt\ch\c? /flat /md=5

with 8000 items , fully scrolled down and thumbnailed ,
hitting F5 , XY starts re-thumbing again from scratch .
Settings -> caching Search Results -> 10.000
hitting F5 now , all cached Thumbnails are just there , no re-Thumbing .

pretty sure its some bug , since the thumbs are already there before the settings change , so why re-thumbing

Have you seen this? Does it help here?

    + Thumbnail Cache: By default, the cache is automatically updated for each file whose 
      modified date has changed since the cache was written. You can now skip this service 
      by setting this tweak:
        CacheIgnoreModified=1

Settings -> caching Search Results -> 10.000

BTW, Ctrl+Right-Click a checkbox or label in Configuration pops a menu that lets you copy the full and correct path to the clipboard:
Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | Maximum number of items cached (0 = cache always)

I'll look into the issue later.

for Projects folders on C:\ and D:\ i would need the modified date
C:\ and D:\ -> often changes -> CacheIgnoreModified=0
F:\ G:\ -> rare changes -> CacheIgnoreModified=1

i only noticed the weird thumbing when using XY for bigger queries into the Media Collection.

but once eerything works propery , refresh is very fast

[admin]

So you'd like some way to define paths that don't use (read/write) a thumbs cache?

Similar to tweak CacheFolderSizesExclude=F:\Downloads|T:\?

[bossi]

nah, from my perspective everything works now

originaly i thought the thumbnailer could be simplified and i randomly threw in ModifDate
then i discovered that it misbehaves only on searches/queries because F5 triggers complete re-thumbing
then i realized i "cache search results = 10K " made F5 work as expected on a quey

for me twas not instantly understandable why thumbs are gettings generated only to be re-generated after hitting F5 )
One would expext doing same query would fetch thumbs from cache , not regenrate them

Could not really reproduce the problem. But didn't try too hard. Let's just move on.
