Thanks Mike,
This is just what I needed to make me slow down my cussing!

There was always a delay factor when I do a search for a certain day of shooting.
I have my folders named by date and location, and tagged with who was with me that day.... but where was that shot of the pelican in the tree?
I know where I was, and I remember the gal in the bikini in the background (thank goodness for depth of field), but which folder; there's a dozen that say SOUTH JETTY.

Now I do a search for Fred Richie, and Will. I get a return of 8 folders/
Now comes the added feature!!

**If I put a tick in the little Preview box in the search window, Then cache files will not build until you close the window.

I am referring to older folders where my housekeeping has deleted cache older than 6 month, and now I want to peek at the folder.
More recent folders likely have cache files not deleted yet.
Qimage Ultimate will build thumbs if they were deleted, but that goes fast, and you better have them i you want to see what's in the folder.  :D
You can click on folder after folder in the found these folder window, and locate the specific shoot you were looking for.

Have fun.
Fred

mike a while back you were talking about making qimage multitreaded, whatever happend tot hat project

You are a long way out of date, it has been for a long time.
See Edit - Preferences - Hyper Processing.
Also screen shot attached below.

for printing yes but all other functions no

Not true.  It is multithreaded and uses up to 4 cores for:

- Printing
- Building thumbnails
- Building raw cache

So pretty much where it needs it most: it's already multithreaded.
