Imageglass 9 thrashing HDD when opening an image in a large folder

[Jackson Ng]

I'm on Windows 10 running Imageglass 9 Version: 9.0.8.1208 (64-bit).

As detailed in this conversation:

I'm currently having an issue where opening an image in a folder full of mixed files (jpg, png, gif, webp, but no sub folders) results in HDD activity spiking to 100% in Task Manager on the relevant drive and staying at 100% until I close Imageglass. Similar to the details listed in the conversation above, I have tried the various settings suggested but to no avail.

Previously, I was using Imageglass 8.11 (the version just before 9) and had no issues. Imageglass 9 does perform better than 8.11 for initial load which is the reason I'd like to stay on 9, but I want to have this issue looked into - throttling my hard drive when Imageglass is open is a deal breaker for me even if it performs better.

It should be fixed in v9.0.9.1230. I disabled the metadata cache for Gallery panel.
