1st impressions are good, especially for the larger thumb sizes. I personally didn't notice any massive improvement in scrolling, with it still hitting the odd speed bump on its way from top to bottom.
Same here.
Also...
I'm having a ton of problems with recent builds and Thumbnailing though. I have not been able to complete a manually started
Build All Missing Thumbnails without either: a) crashing MC, or b) crashing the whole computer BSOD-style (which happened last night).
I do have the vast majority of my files all on network drives. I would guess, from the way MC is acting, that the crashing is when thumbnailing some of my Video files... But I'm not able to determine what ones at all (or even if it's the same ones each time).
When MC12 is building Thumbnails "on the fly" (especially when viewing a large video view scheme or a "mixed" scheme) in "details" mode, it becomes extremely non-responsive to the point of being completely unusable. Generally it will consume nearly 100% CPU time for 15-20 minutes at a time, only repainting the UI very occasionally. And, about 1/2 the time when it gets "stuck" like this, it eventually crashes. I have no similar problems with MC11.1 and the exact same Library.
Last night, to try to alleviate this problem, I tried to "Build All Missing Thumbnails" three separate times. The first two times it crashed after going through about 1200 of 30k files. Then I suspected it could be some strange DirectShow filters I had installed on that machine (that one still had the Morgan Stream Switcher installed for example), so I went on a cleaning frenzy. I uninstalled all of my codecs and filters except for my bare necessities:
ffdshow-20051129.exe (which I reinstalled from scratch)
XviD 1.1 (XviD-1.1.0-30122005.exe from Koepi)
Huffyuv 0.2.2.1
DirectVobSub 2.23
RealAlternative (current build)
The third time I ran the "Build All Missing Thumbnails" routine, it made it into the 2500k range and I went to bed. When I woke up this morning, I was greeted with a BSOD.
I have logs (with all the options enabled). Is there any information I can provide to help track this down?
