>>1958199hmm k. cool. it seems xnview mp can do the similar thing, thumb caching, but the way it picks the thumbs is stupid, just at a set position in the video. still, it's good as an image viewer so I'll keep it around.
media preview on the other hand just updates the windows thumbs.db, but uses some smart comparisons to find useful thumbs.
so I guess I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of time preloading in order to get smartly chosen thumbs.
I'll check icaros to see if it does that
but I just upgraded to win10 for a reason, so i'm pretty sure im going to be fucked. so far firefox seems to be working, addons intact
