Hi,
Are you using stable release or the dev branch? On the dev
one there's currently a qt crash workaround that makes thumb generation slower. When qt 5.15.2 releases i'll revert it
Not really sure if this a thing, but if it is maybe an option to turn this behavior off would also be useful.
Yes i could add this, no problem
I think it would be better if it continuously loads the thumbnails of all the images
Gwenview does this. It's really bad. Here's a folder with ~4k images opened in both programs
not to mention it was lagging for like 2 minutes
I'm using the stable branch. Huh didn't know it could perform that badly. Were the images really high res? ACDSee, FastStone and XnView MP does the same thing, but it's usually never really that bad. Unfortunately, they're all proprietary.
Right now, thumbnails are only loaded as you scroll through the folder in folder view. I think it would be better if it continuously loads the thumbnails of all the images in the folder regardless of scroll position. This would make browsing through large folders much faster. Also, another thing I noticed is that it seems to unload some thumbnails beyond the window boundary once you leave it to idle for a short while, forcing some thumbnails to reload once you start to scroll again. Not really sure if this a thing, but if it is maybe an option to turn this behavior off would also be useful.
