Too many images?
kutto:
I installed Photoshop today, and I was excited, because of its wonderful little feature that makes the thumbnail of the picture into the icon. Having this new power, I decided to wade through all of my TS2 pictures. Unfortunately, if I enter my Storytelling folder, explorer crashes. I can enter it if I set .jpgs to be used by Microsoft Photo Editor, which doesn't conjure up thumbnails. Would this be caused because my compy isn't good enough to call up that many images at once?
miros:
That's weird. It should slowly make the replacement icons one by one. Kind of neat watching the icons "flip."
Ivy:
Photoshop is a resource hog, that's a given.
What operating system are you using? I am running XP, and I have thumbnails in windows explorer under my view options. Just select "view: thumbnails" and boom there they are. My JPG's are set to open with windows picture and fax viewer, it's quick and easy if I want to see something larger, or else a simple right click and open with opens with whatever program I select. I don't let photoshop or any other editing program have access to JPG's by default because they are such resource hogs.
Just how many photos do you have in your folder anyway?
kutto:
The window tells me I have over 600 pictures.
Ivy:
Okay 600 photos isn't bad in my opinion, you should be able to handle that without difficulty, especially at the sizes the game takes photos. They aren't that big of files. I have over 1000 in my largest neighborhood and no lag of any kind when making thumbnails and I don't have ye uber computer :P lol Just middle-of-the road I'd say.
Are you running XP? And if so have you tried setting it to open with windows picture and fax viewer like I described to see if that opens them ok?
Opening thumbnails from within Photoshop via their file browser option is a nightmare for me, if that's how you're going about it. Not from the standard "open" and searching for the file, but from their own funky file browser thingy. It takes forever for the photoshop program to build the thumbnails. If that's how you're doing it, then it doesn't surprise me to hear that it's crashing.
I'd recommend at any rate not to use the Photoshop in-program file-browser option and instead go thru windows explorer thumbnail viewer options as I've already described. It's faster and way more efficient. A simple right click and open with will launch Photoshop for you anyway if it's not already open.
