Could there be an option to disable folder thumbnails?

Could there be an option to disable folder thumbnails?

i believe there is a separate mod to do it and Resource Redirect has a similar option in the newest version, but i'll consider to add this function later

No. There was one mod that attempted to so so, but worked only on one build, I think. Does not work now, and never was in the repo.

Have you tried the Resource Redirect? Or here it's a mod by Leymonaide

Hmmm. Really?

// @include         *
// @exclude         explorer.exe

This is very strange. Anyway, it hanged my system.

When applied only to explorer.exe, does nothing.

When applied only to explorer.exe, soed nothing.

I change it to include explorer.exe and after clean the thumbnail cache, it works.

@m417z Hello! Sorry to ping you, but i meet some problems about uploading this mod. This mod uses WIL components so it uses "-fms-extensions" argument. But the auto test will compile this mod on Windhawk 1.6.1 and it always give me an error. So how can I solve it? tks

Hi, versions older than 1.7 require a workaround: #3144 (comment).

For me Explorer does not start after enabling it.
