Thumbnail Preloader
| Area | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 10 or Windows 11, 64-bit |
| Architecture | x64. ARM devices are not supported at the moment. |
| Memory | 8 GB is enough, 16 GB is more comfortable with large archives |
| Free disk space | The installation itself is small. Space is needed for previews, depending on your file count. |
| Permissions | Administrator rights to install, none during normal use. |
| Internet | Only for activation and updates. Preloading itself works offline. |
| Drives | Internal and external drives in every plan. Network drives and NAS in Studio. |
What is not supported
- macOS and Linux. Windows Explorer previews do not exist there.
- Windows 7 and 8. The required interfaces behave differently.
- Cloud folders in online-only mode. What is not stored locally cannot be prepared without downloading it.
How much space previews need
The requirement scales with the number of files, not their size. A 200 megabyte RAW produces the same small preview as a phone snapshot. The app shows the space used, cleans up on its own and can be capped.
