Similar to how it generates a ThumbnailExtensions.txt file with extensions, it would be amazing if we could do the same with a list of folders we want to generate for, so we can get rid of custom bat scripts to achieve this.

[VL4DST3R]

To add on this, the schedule function, while useful, is a bit broad in how you can customize it:

• No frequency lower than daily
• No retries if using the "On Idle" function (as far as I can tell)
• And finally, generating thumbs for an entire drive may not be always desired, and more granular (i.e. folders!) would be much more desired and useful.

Also the order of drives in the list is a bit odd being top to bottom/left to right:

EDIT: Never mind, apparently I cannot set it at all despite the fact I should not be able to give an "invalid" time?:

So far I've made a few changes to the Schedule form, let me know if there's anything that should be changed I'm looking into adding amount of retries, and also considering reverting the drive letter format to the previous one since I think the older one looked better even though it was somewhat harder to understand, though let me know what you think.

I've found out that the invalid time may have been due to the reliance on a specific system time format so it should now be globalized to prevent it from breaking on different time formats, though I'm unable to test this on my systems.

Hey again!

considering reverting the drive letter format to the previous one since I think the older one looked better even though it was somewhat harder to understand

It is ulitmately your tool and thus your final say, and it's something you (ideally) need to use only once, so I guess if you feel strongly about it for whatever reason you are free to revert it back to the previous layout- no real harm done. I'm curious though, why is that?

Adding to that, why not just let the user input the path/drive himself and thus get rid of the need to add checkboxes for the entire alphabet of drives? Not to mention I'm pretty sure this way you cannot ever accommodate any sort of network locations (but windows is indeed able to cache thumbnails for those as well)

globalized to prevent it from breaking on different time formats, though I'm unable to test this on my systems.

Awesome! Figured it was something like that. I run an English install with Romanian date and time formats, so I can easily test that when you release a new build.

There is a program freefilesync it is used to copy files in folders it compares first and than copy new files only, if algorithum of same can be use to check hash of alreaady preloaded thumbs and folders it will be quite easy to regenerate only new thumbs.

Wating for Beta 5 or new stable release of v2 hope @Mfarooq360 release soon i come here daily to check updates

[VL4DST3R]

This is already the case here, the tool does not regenerate tumbs blindly if rerun, it will skip those that already exist in the db (you can notice this for yourself as subsequent runs will finish a lot faster than the first one, assuming the files didn't change)
