Intriguing idea - not having to take a break and wait for the script to run its course.klownboy wrote:... another change which will do all the refreshing or rebuilding in another instance of XY completely hidden from the user other than a message which will come up and tell the user it's done.
Meanwhile, your script is working overtime. Been taking it for heavy duty spins all day - it's absolutely marvellous. I am cleaning out huges caches that have piled up, and 2) generating caches during phone calls and breaks. Expecially shots from digital cameras (hi-res mega pixel stuff) benefit greatly from it. The larger the photo, the longer it takes XY to create thumbs, it seems.
Right now it is running without supervision on another machine where I dumped the content of a friend's camera, thousands of pics, all unsorted from various travels, stored in subfolders per day. This would take a looooong time to browse in regular XY, waiting and drumming your fingers while waiting for the subfolders to deliver their thumbs.
Thank you, Ken, I really appreciate this.
