I'm looking for recommendations for an image viewer that does not choke on = a large number of files=2C I tried fotoxx but that dies on > 20=2C000 files= and other tools (like danpei) seem to want to read all files first before = displaying any thumbnails. Is there a tool that just dynamically reads the = files and builds thumbnails as one pages through the collection? I do reali= ze that this is not quite as fast as pre-cached thumbnails but with >300k i= mages that's just not an option=2C anything I tried either crashes or just = sits there for hours. The images are about 50k each=2C coming from a networ= k camera. Ideally I would like to choose a thumbnail size that suits me=2C fill the s= creen with them and then select the ones that are uninteresting (could be a= cross several screens/pages) and delete the original files. Maybe somebody had and solved a similar challenge. Or should I just be smar= ter and collect each day into it's own directory? Thanks=2C Caro =
