I would be very grateful if anyone knows of a way to speed up the very slow rendering of thumbnail previews for video files when viewing a folder containing a good few dozen video files. It seems to take a very long time and for some reason I really like to have thumbnails showing as I have become very used to it from both Gnome & Win 7 (both of which generate thumbs very quickly indeed, even in folders with hundreds of videos).
So, is there a setting or something that can be tweaked?, I'm running 12.04 on a fairly quick machine, OpenGL is the window renderer in settings, everything else seems to be nice and responsive so don't think I need to change to XRender, I am stuck trying to think of something to tweak this, or is this one of those things that for some reason KDE is slow at?. Also, is there a way/setting for the thumbnail cache to be saved for a longer time, I ask this because it looks as though every restart of the pc the thumbs start from scratch, whereas in Gnome the cache seemed to keep them between sessions.
Any suggestions very much appreciated indeed, thank you.
ps, everything else seems to be working perfectly, no errors whatsoever so far, and btw, I have most desktop effects off, none of the demanding ones like Cube etc, I think this helps make the system more responsive.
