Switch off thumbnails for folders
Hi
It would be nice to be able to switch off thumbnails for folders. If switched off, TC wouldn't show and remember thumbnails for folders. It would speed things up a bit. I would definitely keep it switched off.
What do you think?

There is no direct option for this setting ONLY but you can take a look on "WmfAllowed" option.

Theoretically, setting this to 0 or 1 should help in your case.Help file wrote:WmfAllowed=-1
0: WMF file display disabled. Disables also display of all folder thumbnails.
1: Allow to display WMF (Windows Metafile) images in Lister and thumbnails.
2: Allow to display thumbnails for folders (which may contain wmf files)
3: Show WMF files and folder thumbnails
-1: Allow folder thumbnails if the Windows patch is installed. WMF files will NOT be shown, they must be enabled manually.
WMF has been disabled by default due to a severe security hole in Windows.

You look for wincmd.ini (my one, was in the Windows folder, you might have it elsewhere), that has a [Configuration] part, you write in "WmfAllowed=0" even if it's not present, and it's done. This way it won't show wmf files' thumbnails (because of security reasons) and neither will it for folders.karlchen wrote:Nice.Kultag wrote:Solved, thanks.![]()
May we learn what exactly the solution was, please? - I am not sure that the WMFAllowed parameter is involved?!

Hello, Kultag.
Thanks for exlaining the solution.
And sorry for asking this stupid question.
fenix_productions had quoted the sentence which states
So I would have had a good chance of finding the answer if I had bothered to read carefully.

Is this the only way to turn off thumbs for dirs? The wmf switch I mean. Or to remove the windows patch to make Totalcmd refuse thumbs on dirs? : ).
Is it impossible to inplent directories in the exclude rule like? If not consider that as a humble feature request.
