Is this a normal sub-folder?
« on: June 11, 2012, 02:03:02 am »

Since updating to version 165 I've got a folder on my disc which I've never seen before.
This is its name:
c:\Users\mark\Google Drive\JRiver\{6F32902D-7F6B-466F-A9A5-B8A0B6A2A17B}\
(of course I'm just talking about the subfoler of JRiver and not about the first few folders)

Is it a new feature?
Is this not supposed to exist?
If it is a new feature: can it be moved to another place (as it's filling my Google Drive space now)

Thanks in advance!

It is the thumbnail cache folder. (For one library. The name of the folder is the library's identifier.)

It is created automatically because you have made the following configuration change:
- start Regedit and make the following adjustment:
Edit the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JRiver\Media Center 16\Properties\Thumbnails - Base Path" value and change it to C:\Users\%username%\Google Drive\JRiver

If you want to keep the thumbnails synced through the Google Drive you must have it there. How big is it?

Mwah... It's only 75 Mb, so it's not much of a problem right now. But how big can it get? Does MC make thumbnails for each song that's played?
