Switch off thumbnails for folders

[Kultag]

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.

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.

Theoretically, setting this to 0 or 1 should help in your case.

PS. Please, use "Search" before posting.

Solved, thanks.

I searched this forum for "thumbnail". I'm paraphrasing.

Solved, thanks.

Nice.
May we learn what exactly the solution was, please? - I am not sure that the WMFAllowed parameter is involved?!

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.

Hello, Kultag.

Thanks for exlaining the solution.
And sorry for asking this stupid question.
fenix_productions had quoted the sentence which states

WmfAllowed=-1
0: WMF file display disabled. Disables also display of all folder thumbnails.

(Bold emphasis by me)
So I would have had a good chance of finding the answer if I had bothered to read carefully.

Regards,
Karl

Never mind, it happens to the best too.

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

Code: Select all

 *.* | DIR *.htm *.html 

? If not consider that as a humble feature request.
