Feature Request: thumbnail cache

Post by abobymous »

I love Duplicate Cleaner Pro and use it daily on my rapidly growing photo archive. Currently 70K photos and soon to double as more family archives are being added/merged.

Can you add the image thumbnail to the cache? This would dramatically speed up the display of images in thumbnail mode as well as speed up functionality of the Image Previewer. The full-size image in the Previewer could still be read from the actual file since it is useful for observing when the orientation or crop is changed using another program.

Please let me know your thoughts and thank you.

Thanks- will add this as a feature request. It does use the Windows thumbnail for speed where possible, but a local cache would be faster.

Thank you for the response. I use a network attached storage (NAS) over my 1 gig LAN. The images, in my circumstance, are large TIFF files (> 10 MB each). A mechanism to retrieve a "cheap" thumbnail quickly would make the very frequent use of the application more efficient. Have a nice day!
