Windows 10: Thumbs.db issues - Microsoft, do you have a solution finally ?

Hi all,

as subj - thumbs.DB issue has been around for 10 years or so.

As you know thumbs.db files prevent deleting a folder and have to be eliminated manually.

Well, Microsoft, please consider people NEED thumbs and also do not have time to delete files manually using archaic workflows.

So please, can you provide a solution for thumbs.db issue ?

Solutions are three, in my opinion:


- Allow thumbnails without caching, so thumbs will be created on the fly already possible but will NOT delete exhisting thumbs.db files

- Create a small utility that users can download to delete thumbs files with bruteforce

- Allow a CENTRALIZED caching so all thumbs.db files are stored into a system folder - and NOT into each folder where Windows finds an image.


I hope you consider this issue more seriously. It's around for too long and it's a big timeloss for users working in multimedia !


thanks in advance,

Paolo

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

DB files

Hi Diarmid,





A .db file is a database file format for Windows. It stores data information in a series of tables, table files, and field data values. To best address your concern, we need to answer the following questions:

• Which application are you using to open the .db file?
• Are you getting an error message when trying to open the file? If yes, kindly provide us a screenshot.

We will be waiting for your response.
