It's a question, you should have only high quality if option/Browser/thumbnail/high quality is enabled
Like I said, this setting has no influence, it's just the same as I have reported in the Total Commander RC1 thread. Setting on/off, it doesn't matter, no difference in quality.

I've checked with RC5, and it works...

Same here.
There's no place like 127.0.0.1

If you use embedded thumbnail, i extract always thumbnail from jpeg file, and resize it to the wanted size. So here high quality is not used.

No embedded thumbnail here, but I found the problem. TC starts an own XnView instance and leaves it running. So if I change something in the options in XnView (which is another process), and want to see the result in TC, I have to kill that process first. Then it is working, so now I can switch between high quality and simple mode.
I must say, even with high quality, the thumbnail generation is very fast, much better than explorer, thanks!

Thanks for that discovery, SanskritFritz. :)

@xnview:
The funny thing is that I have not only shut down XnView for testing purposes but I have also restarted TC but still the setting was not remembered. Things like that really drive me mad...

The problem is that I usually just press a button to restart TC with a small restarter app that closes and recalls the TC instance. Unfortunately the separate XnView thread started by TC is not killed then.

During all the tests I haven't checked Process Explorer, too bad. ;)

Why is high quality not used? In another thread (about embedded thumbs option and high quality option) you write you use high quality when resizing larger embedded thumbnails.

Also, XnView remains in memory after TC requests thumbnails from XnView. Who is responsible for closing XnView afterwards? XnView or TC?

Yes, this a very important question - and the last thing to be solved for TC integration.
Any clarification or at last a solution is highly appreciated.

Yes, you're right, it's TC's task - found the same with IrfanView. Of course I've deleted it after testing. :mrgreen:

So IMO this is fixed in RC7
