Twonky Forum

When I open a photo album on a client (Panasonic TC-P42ST30 TV), there's a .@_thumb file, which appears to contain thumbnail images, at the top of the listing. This seems like something that should be hidden by default, since if someone clicks on it he winds up viewing a bunch of relatively low-quality images. Confusing for newbies. Is it possible to set the server to hide these files, or is this a client issue?

Thanks.

I have never seen Twonkyserver do anything like that. I would investigate the options on your TV.

Well, I'm pretty sure Twonky creates the thumbnail files -- it's a sensible thing to do, and I don't know where the TV would store them. But not hiding them might well be the TV's fault. It doesn't provide much control, unfortunately, so I was hoping there was something I could do within the server. Thanks.

I just searched my entire server and cannot find any files remotely like .@_thumb. Also searched through the twonkymediaserver executable and cannot find that string. So I don't think twonkyserver is creating those files.

What software are you using to manage your photo albums?

Yeah, I don't find them on the server, either. I guess the TV must create them; I just didn't imagine that it would have storage for such things. It doesn't seem to be putting them on the server. Thanks again.
