[Solved] Exif Preview always used for thumbnails

Post by jbreweral2or »

Sorry if this is already answered somewhere; it appears I am not able to search for "exif preview".

I am on version 10.5.2 (2911). For a couple of versions now, it seems that the image thumbnails are defaulting to a smaller exif preview (they look blurry and bad when sized up in the browser), even though my preferences are set to not use these. I've tried resetting and even moving the thumbnail cache, but I still get blurry thumbnails.

The *only* thing that works is removing the Exif metadata entirely from the file. I have a ton of files that are appearing this way, so it's a bit annoying to do this for all of the offending files. Is there another way? Is something broken?

Now go to the prefs part browser/general and select the following:
