Is there any way to stop /prevent it enumerating tif files over the network ?

When i open a directory of 400 30MB tif files it grinds to a halt while it thumbnails them all over the network. Its unusable.

AFAIK, yes.

`cmd-J` -> Uncheck “Show icon preview”

Hopefully it’s enough, but I haven’t tried.

yeah but it's not configurable for local vs network as far as i can tell
Not AFAIK, no.
Just pushed an update. There's now a setting in Preferences to disable icon previews on network volumes. You can also set which file extensions should be excluded, which I hope will fix the grinding. Grab the latest build from the site. Thanks for the catch.
ahh i just saw this. I will try your software when i get a minute.
