Hi
I want a component which we can do easily view similar to windows explore for developer.
It support thumbnails of folder and files.
It is very useful for developers.
I checked imageenfoldermview and imageenmview and working with both components is very hard for this propose.
Best Regards

Hi
If you will a simple Delphi sample for show folder and all files with thumbnails then please you will upload here.
But best solution is make a components similar ShellListView with show thumbnails.

Thank you very much for your Delphi sample.

Nigel,
the demo is dead slow and hangs completely when you try to open a folder with a lot of image files - particularly if the directory contains camera RAW files. If you want to speed things up significantly, you will need to take the "virtual" approach. Check out VirtualShelltools (especially VirtualExplorerEasyListview) available via GetIt package manager. Blows your Explorer demo out of the water even with the old DCRAWLIB.dll .

I disagree about the demos speed. It seems adequately fast, and in fact, faster than I thought it would be. I admit I did not test raw files, but the other file types loaded quickly.
I have a number of commercial shell controls which are a little faster, but they are quite expensive.

Hi Uwe
I tested the demo on a folder of 800 raw images using both the LibRaw DLL and WIC (Windows) loading. Performance was excellent when using LibRaw and it was OK with WIC.
I checked a folder of 5000 JPEG images, it took a little over a second to fill, and then performance was good. There does seem to a bit of a delay when navigating if there are > 10,000 images in a folder. I don't think it would help being virtual, I think the delay is due to processing images required for current view.
Let me investigate that...

There does seem to be an issue with EnableLoadExplorerThumbnails, presumably relating to the state of the thumbnail cache on the users system.
I recommend, this be set to false for now.

Hi Nigel,
I checked a folder of 5000 JPEG images, it took a little over a second to fill
Not what I'm seeing here. I just tested with a folder holding 530 JPGs, and the process was very slow. The application didn't load the images in one go and scrolling down was constantly interrupted.
If I try to open a folder with approx. 1000 CR2 files from a Canon 5Ds (average size approx. 60 MB/file), the program hangs completely. I have to kill it via Task Manager.
I've used the compiled program that you provided in the link above. No DLLs. Win10, all updates applied. Must be the thumbnail generation via WIC codecs that slows the process down to a crawl.

Hi Uwe
Can you try compiling the demo on your system and see what options affect/improved it:
- ThumbnailDisplayFilter/ThumbnailResampleFilter
- EnableLoadExplorerThumbnails
- WICFastLoading
It might be easiest to try this demo:
\Demos\Multi\MViewPerformance\Performance.dpr
How big are the JPEG images? What are the specs of the system?

Dear Nigel
I tested your sample.
You add a new component to imageen which we can open a folder without any codes.
Similar shelllistview which open a folder with a path, then it is easy and useful.

Hi Nigel,
I use ImageEn 8.1.1 . Does it make sense to compile the demo with it?
The JPGs were all about 1 MB each. System specs: Win 10 (64 bit), all updates applied. 16 GB RAM, i7 (4 cores), GeForce GTX 960 graphics card, DirectX 12

Hi Uwe
8.1.1 should be the same in this regard, so your results would be useful.

Dear Nigel
I added files/folders with Delphi code and with open dialuge and TImageEnFolderMView can not refresh.
I open again (call again) a folder with TImageEnFolderMView can not show new files/folders, but all shelllistview components can automatically refresh without any problem.
So you will add refresh to your component or at least a code for fill again with new files and folder then TImageEnFolderMView is complete for windows folder show.

Hi Nigel,
okay, I will test it and report back. Give me a few days, though. I've got visitors over at the moment.

Hi Nigel,
I see that the WebP images are loaded correctly in the Explorer both for thumbs and preview. Have you figured out a solution?

Hi Ali
I don't know if I understand your requirements fully. When you say "refresh" do you mean refilling the control when files are added or deleted to a watched folder?
You can enable automatic refresh using:
https://www.imageen.com/help/TImageEnFolderMView.AutoRefresh.html
But you are manually filling the control with your own code (custom file list). How can any control automatically refresh when it does not generate its own file list?

A component similar to ShellListView
