Request: Context-Menu for Drives :-)

Hi,

I usually store my media collection in a subdirectory on a local hard disk, but recently I began storing it on an external SSD.

Then I noticed that there's no Windows Explorer context menu for scanning entire drives with WinThumbsPreloader so I'd like to ask that you add this if you ever decide to make a new release of this wonderful tool. For now, I have to go through each of the folders in the root of the external SSD and do a recursive scan, which kind of defeats the "fire and forget" purpose of WinThumbsPreloader :-)

This change would go nicely along with Issue 5.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Archfrog

In the meantime you can make a simple .bat script with the directories in question which i assume don't change that much and have it be one-click this way. This place is kinda dead so i wouldn't hold my hopes up for an official update.

Thanks, didn't think of that :-) Should work just as good.

Not that dead. A few loyal user old folks 👴🏻 like me are still peeking at it from time to time hoping for an update. 😉

Oh don't get me wrong, i'm still lurking here as well, especially now with @Mfarooq360 picking up the project and trying to improve on it!

I've now released version 1.0.6 on my fork which adds preloading to drives with a context menu.
