Album art speed/responsiveness and file organiser window

does it stay like that in the 2nd image if you take no further action?

also if you temporary make the pictures the maximum size, does that improve performance?

no, it's only a fraction of a second that the doubling appears. i catched it by taking a screenshot while scrolling around and it happened to be visible on the screenshot like that.

maximum size is faster but the effect is the same with the first and last line smearing/flickering.

i've created a debug version that logs how long each step is taking.

After you run it and scroll a couple of pages could you go to the error log (Help/ Support/ View Error Log) and send the entries from around the time you run this.

I suggest you keep your current version handy and replace the debug one afterwards

i dont see anything exceptionally bad in those timings - its about 3-5 times slower than it displays for me but still < 50ms to display a page.
I guess what windows explorer will be doing is have a timer so it refreshes at intervals rather than every time time you drag the scroll bar so it can skip some refreshes if you scroll fast. I'll have a look at this but probably at a later date as there are a number of other looks i need to look at.

sound reasonable, thanks for "investigating" this

i've implemented a new approach - it should be more responsive but i am keen to hear feedback plus or minus
