Windows Explorer only processes images on screen not all in file?
This problem isn't that big just time consuming and annoying.
I am a wedding photographer and process hundreds of images at a time. Most of the time I use Photoshop bridge to view images but when I burn to disc and want to verify that they were transferred correctly I use Windows Explorer. I select "Large Icons" to view the image's thumbnails. Windows will only process the images showing on the screen which is usually 180 images. With the size files of each image I use, a DVD will hold around 400 images so I have to scroll down, wait until the images load (which is extremely slow), then scroll down, wait again until all images are loaded and viewable. If Windows would process all the images on the disc at once and all I would need to do was scroll down to view instantaneously, I would not be tied up at the computer.
As I said, this isn't a major problem, just a time consumer and upsets my work flow. I verify the discs on three different computers, one with Vista, one with Windows 7 and one with 8.1 and all of them do the same. I use Windows Explorer because that is what most of my clients will use to view them. Is there any way to re-set how windows handles opening and displaying the thumbnails to speed up this process? Since all three computers behave the same I understand it is possible there is nothing I can do, but every time I go through this process, I wonder about it and thought I would ask.
Thank you,
