Just saw the previous thread on .thumnails, but it went off topic. There is something wrong with the way these thumbnails are created, because it takes for ever and a day for each one. I use them whenever I access my digital pictures, the same pics that I have backed up on the wife's windoze machine. It can take 4-5 minutes to generate the thumbnails for a 300 pic directory in my 64 bit xp-3800+, the exact same thing takes about 15 sec in a 32 bit amd 2000+ running windoze. After generating them, opening the directory in the "doze" machine in thumbnail view is instantaneous, in my linux it still takes about 5-6 seconds. Why such a huge speed descrepancy?
Look at Kong settings / Preview and metadats. If you select the option to use previews embedded in the files I suspect it may have to read the original images looking for previews. Also thre is a slider there for size. Perhaps yours are set too big? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
