Hi everyone,
Because IrfanView is so awesome, I use it for both home and work. One of my use cases at work is opening images in folders with many thousands of images. Please indulge me on this and don't ask why the hell we're doing that
In any case: the issue I run into there is that I can't do anything for approx 20 seconds after I open the image; if I try, IV goes into a Not Responding state.
I am almost certain that the reason for this is that IV is scanning the rest of the images in the folder. I say this because I can disable the setting "View all files in directory [...]" under Browsing / Editing > Browsing, and - when I do that - I do not have the 20-second delay.
However, I really do like that option when I'm using IV for home stuff and even some of the other work stuff..
In a perfect world, IV would be modified to do that folder scan in the background and allow me to do everything except go to the prev/next file while it's doing that scan.
However, if that is not an option, then maybe a configuration option could be added that tells it to not scan the the folder if it's over ### files (e.g. 500/1000).
Does anyone have any options/solutions for me?
Thanks!
