Setting File Browser preferences

You can set the following File Browser preferences:

Do Not Process Files Larger Than

Specify the maximum file seize that the File Browser processes. Large files can slow down the File Browser.

Display Most Recently Used Folders

Enter a number of most recently viewed folders that appear in the location bar.

Custom Thumbnail Size

Specify the pixel width of the thumbnails that appear in the Preview palette.

Allow Background Processing

Select to use extra processing power to pre-generate cache information like previews and metadata.

High-Quality Previews

Select to view better quality previews of images. Generating these larger previews requires more disk space for the cache.

Render Vector Files

Select this option if you want the File Browser to display thumbnails of vector files, such as Illustrator files.

Parse XMP Metadata from Non-image Files

Allows you to view and edit the metadata of nonimage files, such as text files.

Keep Sidecar Files with Master Files

Allows you to move, copy, delete, or rename XMP and THM sidecar files along with the master file. Sidecar files help other applications process the metadata associated with a file.
