What happens when a user disables thumbnail synchronization?

Users can disable thumbnail synchronization in IXIASOFT CCMS Desktop to improve performance.

Description

Performance can be improved by disabling thumbnail synchronization. When thumbnails are disabled:
  • Users cannot use the Images view.
  • Users will not see image thumbnails in views such as the Search Results view.
  • If a user uses the Show Previewaction, the thumbnail of that image is downloaded to the user's workspace. Afterwards, the thumbnail for that specific image in views such as the Search Results view will display.
  • Existing thumbnails that have been synced to the user's workspace are not automatically deleted. Users have to manually remove them if they want to free up disk space.
  • Image previews in the Preview view are still available.
  • Image previews in the Show/Edit Image dialog box are still available.

Solution

    1. Click Window > Preferences.
    2. Expand IXIASOFT CCMS.
    3. Click General Behaviour.
    4. Clear the Synchronize Image Thumbnails checkbox.
    5. In the Search Results view, Dependencies view, Todo List view, and the Recent Documents view, click Turn on thumbnail display icon to turn off the thumbnail display.
