As was already mentioned for sequential browsing, decoding looks ahead, working in the background, making the whole process smoother, without any delay for reading and decoding files. When you are browsing through the files in a “random” manner, that is selecting files which are two files ahead or two files behind, the program can’t predict what will be the next file to process.īecause of this, it is recommended that one browse the shoot in a sequential manner, which is only logical as in most cases, one wants to look through all of the shots that one made. While you are moving sequentially from one file to another (using Menu – File – Next File or by selecting the next file through the Filmstrip or Grid), FastRawViewer is decoding the next file ahead, so as to make the transition to the next file faster. Settings for Different Types of Data Storage Sequential and “Random” Browsing When using slower media, additional optimization of FastRawViewer may be necessary, because the default settings will not be optimal.
You may need to tune the performance settings of FastRawViewer to be more comfortable.įastRawViewer is optimized for work with files on modern high-speed storage devices: SSD drives, disk arrays (RAIDs), fast flash cards (UHS-I and similar in fast USB3 readers). Type and performance of the video card.Number of processors and cores per processors.Specified folder – the folder specified by the user, always the same (until a different folder is specified here).Open folder dialog starts at – sets the folder at which the “ Open Folder” dialog starts.will not be displayed in the "Open file" dialogue window.Ignore extensions when file browsing – this setting allows the user to supply a list of file extensions.Additional RAW extensions – additional extensions for the RAW files FastRawViewer should process (appended to the built-in extension list).Warn on empty Folders – turns on notifications for situations when folders have no files the program can process.Warn on broken RAWs – turns on the warning if a damaged RAW file is encountered.Reset folder tree filtering on start – will clear folder filtering on program start.Do not recall network/removable media – forbids the automatic display of files/folders from network volumes and removable media.Flexible, last file or folder – opens last file or last folder, what it was later.Specified folder – allows you to set a "start folder".Last visited folder – opens the folder from the list of Recent Folders.Last opened file – opens the top (last) file from the Recent Files list.Empty Screen – FastRawViewer starts up "without file".Start without filename – to set the behavior if FastRawViewer was started without passing a filename to view.This group of settings controls the file processing rules.Depending on the characteristics of your computer, the most important ones being Reset filtering on selection load – will reset file filtering when Menu – Select Load/Append selection from file is used.Reset filtering on folder change – if this setting is turned on, then file filtering will be turned off when changing the current folder.Lazy metadata read – if, for the current sorting/filtering method, file metadata (EXIF or XMP) isn’t necessary, then metadata won’t be read (ahead).This group controls behavior for the sorting and filtering of files in the current folder.
Scroll to selected image while filtering/metadata being read – if metadata is necessary for filtering/sorting, then the files in the current folder will be re-sorted/re-filtered as metadata reading progresses.Without this option only not filtered files will marked based on file list loaded, while filtered out will remain invisible and so unmarked. Ignore dashes and apostrophes on file/folder sort – sorts files without accounting for punctuation marks in filenames.When this setting is turned on, Grid/Filmstrip will auto-scroll to the currently selected file (meaning scroll the Grid/Filmstrip at the same time as re-sorting/filtering – it will automatically return to the current file).
