"there is no folder limit. your folders contains only image files?"
Just images files. Some folders contain desktop.ini files and small .txt files.
I did start off big at the top of directory structure (and that will include video files) but have downsized and added smaller directory groups of just images and experimented with differing quantities. I have found there is a limit to how many images can be cached in this way. I've also been watching the memory usage in Process Explorer and seen memory jump from 700Mb to over 4Gb then jump again to 20Gb. At this point if I let the program continue it will crash. I have also been experimenting with the 'show all files' recursive viewing of all images and seen a similar pattern in memory usage. It could be the 'add folders' just doing the same using the memory (for unseen thumbs).
Only bright point is if the program crashes none of the new cached images are lost.
