How to keep loaded thumbnail results?

Post by cndhng »

Hello, As I have mp4 files in a removable HDD, whenever I index for the same results, I always have to wait for sometime for the every thumbnails to be loaded. Is there a way to export the thumbnail search so I use it later?

There's no option to do this in Everything.



Everything uses the system to gather thumbnails.

The system should be caching your thumbnails under:
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer


There might be third party tools to browse the thumbnail cache?

I think the idea here is to use thumbcacheviewer to check if Windows did cache your thumbnails.

@hamid56: thank you for mentioning this tool. Added to my list of utilities.

Related, I suppose, Custom Open & IrfanView /thumbs.

IrfanView also has an "addon" such that you can create thumbs from context-menu.
(Now whether it those thumbs can be saved as a "context sheet", I'm not sure offhand?)

(I'll often is IrfanView to generate a "context sheet" of thumbs, that I'll simply keep open - till I no longer need it.)
