Description
System information
- Windows OS version:
- ImageGlass version: 9.1.8.723 (64-bit) (Win10)
- ImageGlass release: Classic
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Set IG as default image file viewing app
- Open File Explorer with a folder with images
- Refresh in File Explorer
Actual behavior
When looking at a folder with images in File Explorer, IG refreshes every loaded image thumbnail into the default logo instead of a thumbnail of the image. If I refresh the folder i can see the thumbnails sequentially loading correctly and sequentially being replaced by the useless logo.
Expected behavior
See the thumbnails of the images on my PC of the actual image each file contains rather than a generic logo that doesn't tell me anything. Have a setting to toggle how the thumbnails are displayed (maybe).
Screenshots / Video / Sample image file
- the way the thumbnails are displayed here is new without me knowingly) changed any setting or version and is useless to me
- right after refreshing, the thumbnails are displayed correctly and sequentially replaced by the logo thumbnail in about a couple of seconds
Additional context
I used an older version (I didn't take note of it) for a while and in the last few days I started having this issue with the thumbnails without updating or doing anything with the settings. I updated the app to the latest version and the problem persists. I don't see a setting for toggling this either.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce on Windows 10 with ImageGlass 9.1.8.723 set as the default image viewer, then inspect the thumbnail behavior after refreshing a folder in File Explorer. Done means image thumbnails remain visible instead of being replaced by the generic ImageGlass logo.
