I have two Filer windows open. One is at /foo/photos and it's currently generating thumbnail images for about 100 photos therein, which takes about 1 second per photo on my system. The other Filer window is at /mnt/digicam. I'm done with this second Filer window, so I close it, and tell it to unmount my camera... but the umount fails, saying that the directory is in use, because the *other* Filer window is generating thumbnail images, which causes *every* open Filer window to re-scan once per second. As soon as the other Filer window finishes generating thumbnails, the umount of /mnt/digicam succeeds. Why does "(Scanning)" in one Filer window affect all the other Filer windows? I'm guessing it's "Not A Bug, It's A Feature" but can it be disabled? Thanks, Anthony DiSante http://nodivisions.com/ |

Never seen that happen. What filer version is this? Anyone else see it? Here, only the window doing the thumbnailing rescans. -- Dr Thomas Leonard http://rox.sourceforge.net tal at ecs.soton.ac.uk tal197 at users.sourceforge.net GPG: 9242 9807 C985 3C07 44A6 8B9A AE07 8280 59A5 3CC1 |

And it's not just when generating thumbnails; anytime I manually rescan a directory, all the other windows rescan too, which doesn't make any sense. -Anthony DiSante http://nodivisions.com/ |

I purged thumbnails and hit rescan with another window open. Both dirs rescanned pretty much after every thumbnail. |

If I rescan one filer-window, all others does it too... I'm running 2.1.4. /Jonatan -=( http://kymatica.com )=- |
