XYplorer Beta Club

Version 26.40.0001, Win10.

I have a few folders with more than 5500 images with cached thumbnails (initially created with version 23.90). Now, XYP will not create thumbnails for new images deep in those folders unless I display existing thumbnails then scroll to the the bottom of the list. As the scroll passes the new file, the thumbnail is created and when the bottom is reached XYP displays the proper count of new thumbnails added. If the new file is toward the top of the list, the thumbnail is created without having to scroll. I have no idea what the break point number of images is as to whether the new thumbnail will be created or not. Have I missed a setting?

Configuration | Preview | Thumbnails | [x] Create all thumbnails at once?

What is your Configuration setting under Thumbnails for "Create all thumbnails at once"? With that setting checked, XYplorer will continue with thumbnail creation for all the image files in your "current" folder not just the images in view. You have to be currently located in the folder or sub folders and in a thumbnail view for thumbnails to be created. If you are currently in folder "A" which has sub folders "A1" and "A2" under it, XY will create the thumbnails for your current folder "A", it doesn't automatically create the thumbs for sub folders A1 and A2.

Thanks for the followup, klownboy. There are no sub folders involved. These are my settings and they have not changed since before 23.90. If the number of images in a folder is less than some unknown limit, the thumbnails are created for newly added files. Once the limit has been crossed, new files added beyond the limit will not have thumbnails created unless I scroll the entire list. Example: there are 5500 images in the folder. A newly added image slots in as the 25th file in the list. The thumbnail will be created when I switch to thumbnail view and the count is updated. A newly added image slots in as the 5400th file in the list. The thumbnail will not be created when I switch to thumbnail view unless I scroll the list to the bottom. Of course, it could be the thumbnail was created but the newly created thumbnail count is not updated?

- I have some folders that have over 8000 images and I have no issues. I'm not aware of any XYplorer thumbnail limitations at least not as low as what you mentioned. XY creates thumbnails for any added images without issues. I may notice a longer access time when I 've added images to the image folder, but when I scroll down to them, they are there.
- Why are you going back and forth from a list or a detail view to a thumbnail view. Keep the image folder in thumbnail view such that when you go to the image folder it's already in thumbnail view. Establish a Folder View Setting (FVS) for the image folder. See if it exhibits the same behavior when the folder is already in a thumbnail view when you copy or move images to it.
- Are your non-thumbnail views (e.g., list or detail) in a different sort order than the thumbnail view (e.g., name vs created)?
- I've noticed an issue if I have some odd ball (unusual image type) in the list on load time for the thumbnail view. As soon as that image was removed access was back fast and smooth.

Once again, thanks for your help klownboy. I switch between because it is a lot easier for me to deal with file list in detail view as opposed to thumbnail view and the sort order is always the same between. I tried your suggestion to have list in thumbnail view when adding new file. That seems to make a difference. Thanks for the tip.
