Can XBMC pre-generate/cache photo thumbnails? (ie. slow browsing) - SofaKng - 2011-11-11
I'm using XBMC Dharma (10.1) and I have thousands and thousands of photographs split into folders.
However, navigating through the folders is very slow and I think it's because XBMC is trying to generate thumbnails on-the-fly, etc.
Is there anyway to speed this up by pre-generating the thumbnails or thumbnail cache, etc?
Also - can I hide raw files (.CR2/.CRW) from XBMC so it doesn't show them in the file list?

The slow thumbnail generating is a bug in XBMC Live: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=87632&page=3&highlight=thumbnails

Arise thread. Anyway. For future reference, adding this to my Advancedsettings.xml file hides raw files from my XSi
Code:
<pictureexcludes> <!-- Regular expressions that if evaluated to true won't be displayed in My Pictures -->
<regexp>^.*\.(cr2|CR2)$</regexp>
</pictureexcludes>
