I'm using Windows 8.1 and, like many, am tired of having thumbnails rebuilt every time I restart. Windows Explorer thumbnail cache is ridiculously small, has been since XP, and for people like me that have over a terrabyte of video to sift through, this gets really annoying. There used to be a fix -- deny system permission to the explorer folder to change anything -- but that only worked in the early days of Windows 7, an update along the way put an end to that working.
Now, people like myself are just stuck sitting and staring as thumbnails get rebuilt every time we restart.
Directory Opus has its own thumbnail cache that the user can control, and is a very nice program overall, but it's a bit pricey for me.
Does Total Commander also have its own thumbnail cache which the user can control and refresh as they see fit?
Any info would be greatly appreciated -- thanks in advance!

I wouldn't need it to be fast, as long as it cached the thumbnails once and kept them for as long as I needed them.Lefteous wrote:Yes - just take a look at the thumbnail page in TC settings.
Unfortunately the cache technology TC is using is not so fast. This is one of the areas where I see room for improvement.
Okay, I just downloaded Total Commander and I see where it keeps it's own thumbnail directory, but I don't see where you can specifiy a thumbnail cache size. Is that because there is no size limit to Total Commander thumbnail cache? If so, that would be great!
