Turn off thumbnail creation for Batch Sources

[plobnop]

Hey everyone, is it possible to turn off thumbnail generation in the "New Batch Job" dialogue for your sources? I have over 1 thousand images I need to process and it takes forever to generate the thumbnails. For me, and I imagine others, the thumbnails are not necessary to see (I know what folder I'm in and what images I'm selecting) and add a significant amount of time to getting the a batch process going. I can see this being a nice safety feature to see what images you loaded. However, it would be nice to have the option to disable thumbnail generation (if it does not already exist).

EDIT: There were 6min 21sec between adding my sources and being able to click "OK" to start the batch process. It kind of defeats the purpose of automation if you have to stand around and monitor your computer.

Hi Plobnop,

as far as I'm aware there is no way to turn this off.

Thanks

I am experiencing this same issue.  I have thousands of tiff images I need to batch convert to jpeg, but every time I set up a batch job I have to first wait for the thumbnail / preview images that appear next to the filenames in the user interface to be generated.  Depending on the number of files, this can take minutes, during which the Affinity becomes non-responsive.  There really needs to be an option to skip this, otherwise it makes batch somewhat useless.
