the good part would also be to add a menu to refresh the .thumbs file when you enter a directory ^^
cause sometimes the .thumbs is old .... and does not show the latests files
BUT
do not do it automatically
here are some example why:
1: the thumb file will have a newer date, that could be suspect
2: you will have no more trace about deleted files ... here is a pervert example: you open the .thumbs file and find something interesting... like nude or hardcore ... so you mark the slave as potential interesting...) but if the thumbs is auto refreshed, you'll never see the traces of this :( so if you find only boring stuff, you will mark the slave as boring.... whereas it is a slut that hide the stuff ^^)
this could be done with a left click : refresh thumbnails ^^
but well if they are refresh automatically.. it would ne be so bad at all... the main idiea is to see a preview of all pictures the fatest way ^^
ps: some thumbs.db could be 3-4 MB big ... it depends how much files were in the folder... so getting the preview should also be an option, other way some people will say : this rat is slow, the other are faster (sure ... because they don't have this feature ....)
