I just got PSP X2 working again.

What is with these companies?  PSP8 had a perfectly good mechanism for 
browsing pictures. You opened the browser, you navigated to the directory 
with the pictures, it generated and saved the thumbnails in that directory, 
and you could work with a directory full of photos.

PSP X2, you open the paint program the first time, and it locks up for an 
hour going around thumbnailing every photo on your entire system, into its 
own little hidden directory, including all the pictures you will never want 
to work on with this program, and it doesn't stop when you close the 
program, and it's too unresponsive to even tell it to stop. And I really 
don't even want ten thousand extra thumbnails on my disk. I now have three 
progams that generate thumbnails for every photo I look at, and at least one 
that generates thumbnails for every photo I don't look at as well. *And* the 
photos already all have thumbnails in them!

Plus, really, I don't need a program running all the time just in case I 
stick a memory chip in that has photos on it.  And anyway that's already 
built into Windows, so why are you ruining that feature by giving your own 
half-assed implementation?
