What drives me batty about
thumbs.dbis that on a modern high end machine with an nvme drive it's not meaningfully faster then just regenerating thumbnails on demand every time, and in fact can be slower under some circumstances. Yet there's no "I don't need this turn it off" option.also now that we have jpegxl you can just load the first bit of data for a thumbnail, lmao
What about remote drves though?
For whatever insane windows-y reason, having a
thumbs.dbfile on a network share is one of those slower scenarios for me. Which is odd because you'd expect that to be the kind of situation where it's actually useful.
