Question for Vista users

05-19-2009, 04:26 AM

I have had it about a month now and have found my way around most of it.

However, I hate how it handles viewing files as thumbnails. Does anybody know if there is a way to look at a folder's worth of thumbnails without having to use that slide up tool every time? I hate having to wait for it to 'draw' each thumbnail every time. Even a separate program will be fine. I just want to copy and paste from one folder to another.

By "slide up tool" are you referring to the Views menu?

I am not totally sure what you are looking for exactly... but here are some tools I found that might help you with what you want to do.

Yup, that is what I meant. Sorry for my highly technical term..lol

Here is what I am finding irritating. I often want to have two 'windows explorers' open so that I can view thumbs in one folder and then copy and paste into another.

At the moment, when I go into a folder I get a list of files with a tiny default image beside the file name. In order to see the files as thumbs I have to adjust the view every single time. Then, when I do slide up to an acceptable size, it has to 'draw' the images. So, I can't just select view and instantly see thumbs. I have to wait for them to develop. Really annoying.

Can't you just set ALL the folders to have the same size Icons by selecting it for the General folder above.

windows folder options are very customizable, i have set so my folders are reopened on reboot, then i have set on some of my directories folder templates to "all items" and selected detailed view - this way all these folders open with a detailed view rather than thumb view and I also have folders remember view settings a particular folder.

you have to toy around with following things to tweak it just how you like:
- folder "view" options, avail right in navigation of windows explorer
- in folder properties (right-mouse click on folder), "customize" tab - folder templates
- under Orginize > Folder & search options - "view" tab - you can tweak some things and then also use "aplly to folders" there to apply these tweaks to all folders with the same folder template - this way the particular view you have earlier for current folder will be applied to all directories with the same folder viewing template (all items, documents, music, pictures, etc)

hope this helps

You were kind enough to help me with this list. So, I thought I would let you (and others who may need the same help) know how it turned out. I downloaded them all. The first one froze on me when I tried to load a directory. The second one was actually very good and the third one was perfect

Thanks!

Thanks...I think I got this to work. Do you know if there is a way to stop it having to slowly 'draw' each thumb when it loads the folder. I don't have a slow computer at all but if I go into a folder with thumbs it shows me an place holder icon for each thumb first. Then, I have to wait for it to replace them with the actual images.

Sarah, to be quiet honest I don't know if such thing possible since Windows explorer just shows contents of a folder, it doesn't keep an index of what was there before so it has to redraw them each time you look in a particular folder.

I have no lag loading images like mentioned, maybe ram and a decent vidcard update would help.

If you dont have 2 or 4gb of ram and running Vista, that is the problem.

Yeah, I am learning that.

I have decided to lobby my husband (the gatekeeper for all things tech in the house) to go back to XP. He won't go to window7 because he says it is beta, blah blah. I think I officially hate Vista.
