Thumbnails creation progress in statusbar
Posted: 13 Oct 2019 20:20
Currently XYplorer shows something like this while creating thumbs:
creating thumb: name.ext
It would be more comfortable to have something like this:
creating thumbs: 230 of 750
creating thumbs: 30%
or even:
creating thumbs: 30% [230 of 750]
Or with the filename (but who really needs it?):
creating thumbs: 230 of 750 (name.ext)
creating thumbs: 30% (name.ext)
Why bother?
If the folder contains 1000+ images, there's a need to see some kind of progress: percent or image count.
Currently the only case when we can see the progress is when we open some folder with numbered or alphabetically named files, sorted by filename. In all other cases there is no way to guess how long do we have to wait.
And with XYplorer you really have to wait, because:
- XYplorer interface is not very responsive during thumb creation,
- scrolling though the thumbs can break the whole process (and you'll have to start over)
- the process takes much more time than in Windows Explorer or ACDSee (they are far less functional than XYplorer but both process thumbs quickly and without any freezes during scrolling)
Strangely:
- when scrolling through the file list during thumb creation using the scrollbar "thumb" the thumbs are drawn without freezes
- but when scrolling with mousewheel, there is 1 second delay or freeze on each scroll
Anyway when the process is complete XYplorer draws the thumbs flawlessly, the scrolling has no delays and there's no difference whether the folder has 100 or 10000 images.
