How to instantly display thumbnails using system thumbs?

[cyclone200]

Hello,

I am using the latest available build of Everything 1.5 Alpha.

I have a folders with 1000 images (each is about 14k pixels wide). All the thumbnails are cached by Windows and when I open the folder, it shows instantly all the thumbnails. However, when I open the folder using Everything, it loads the thumbnails one after the other.

So I searched the forum before and checked the following:

Please ensure Everything is running as a standard user.
In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the General tab on the left.
Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything
Uncheck Run as administrator.
Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
Click OK.
Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
Restart Everything.

/shell_item_image_factory and /extract_image are set to 1.

I am on Windows 11 with a high-end CPU/GPU.

Is there something else I should check?

Thank you.

Everything uses the Windows thumbnail cache. I do know virtually nothing about thumbnails (never use them), but it seems to me that Windows as well as Everything should use the same thumbnail size to prevent double caching.

Everything does have a thumbnail size setting. Others can likely help with the configuration of that.

Thank you for your reply.

Maybe it is because my JPGs are heavy (about 10 MB per image) but Windows Explorer does display them instantly when I open the folder.

I've also changed Everything thumbnail size for every size available in my AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer folder and the result is the same.

Everything Options - 1.5.0.1391a (x64) > Advanced > Show settings containing: thumb

Perhaps there is a setting here that applies?
... e.g. load_thumbnail_priority -> Dropdown ...

(As a rule, I do not display thumbnails).

Thank you for the suggestion tuska.

I've also tested all the high options in load_thumbnail_priority.

I guess the problem is the size of the image (10-15k pixels wide) and its size (10-15MB each). For a reason I don't know, Everything is slower to retrieve the thumbnail than Explorer.
