Windows image viewer slow
When your windows image viewer is really slow in showing the image (halts on ‘Generating preview’), make sure that there are no dead links in the same folder as you are currently viewing the file in. Broken links to network drives for example cause slowdown of the image viewer. This usually occurs on the desktop, which contains shortcuts to programs or games that might no longer be installed on your computer.
Moving the images to a seperate directory solves the problem.
