MC causing external drive to run

I wish some hunting could also be done to prevent MC trying to access on files in Standard View when just browsing. I'd guess something on screen refresh triggers some file access routine which then jams the UI for 10-60 seconds. It happens e.g. when right clicking file, entering search with mouse (I think it doesn't happen if keyboard shortcut ctrl-f is used) or switching to other tab with mouse. It is quite frustrating to wait up for a minute just to get GUI responsive again. My music files are local and on those view I haven't ever seen such jams.

Try turning this off:

Thanks for the tip. I had set that off already though. I also have set all my movie covers to local drive and almost all series episode images. That shouldn't matter though as thumbnails should be used generally which are also local.

After the initial wait there are no delays until again when some time has passed. I'd guess as some resource / connection has again been released or NAS disk have spun down.
