You can change the paths from the 'Other settings' pane.
Note> To change the location of your databases, navigate to Tools | Settings | Integration | Paths. If you can, have the two databases themselves (xnview.db and thumbs.db) each on separate drives - this will speedup access. Try to put the databases on a secondary (non-busy) drive (not the drive with the operating system on it). Keep your databases - especially the Thumbs.db database - on SSDs rather than Hard Disks. square).Īssure the best storage environment for your databases width ratio proportional to the shape of the thumb images you want (vertical vs. 10% or so) by adjusting the values in the Setup dialog, but keep the height vs. Next, reduce the resulting thumb dimensions a small amount (e.g. The dialog will capture the thumb size you formerly selected using the slider in the Browser. Then, go to Tools | Settings | Database and press Get thumbnail Size. Use the thumbs slider (in the Browser) to approximate the (normal) thumb size that works best for you, day-to-day. As a matter of policy, be willing to accept a slight 'fuzziness' in the appearance of your thumbnails. XnView MP can dynamically (and temporarily) resize the thumbs to fit which ever thumb size you select using the browser thumbnail sizer, but without changing the stored size. reducing the amount of Input/Output Operations from/to database/disk, dramatically improving the speed.īe conservative with the size of the stored thumbnails. keeping the thumbs database as small as is practical, hence enabling MP to keep much more of it in memory (which means quicker thumbs display). when correlated with issues related to page overflow) can be of huge importance to: This mean means that a typical 30% gain in compression from JPG to WebP (esp. WebP is a significantly better compression algorithm than JPEG and and can reduce the disk-space footprint of the database file that MP uses to quickly redisplay image thumbnails in the Browser.įrom a technical perspective, the stored size of each thumbnail bitmap can be quite close to the Operating System sector size (for example: 4K) and very close to XnView MP's DB page size (8K). In the main menu, navigate to Tools | Settings | Database and choose Lossy - High quality (WebP) from the Compression drop-down. 
Here are some hints for making the most of this fine software.
XnView MP provides (one of) the most scalable multimedia managers available today.
