I think is better if i open a new thread.
Hi Telstar,
-The gallery is unable to show more than 8 albums at once, then it reloads them and enters an endless loop.
Is this with the thumbnail cache in use ?
Yes, 1800 (as before).
Y6 was installed over y-5-04, "keeping all settings" when asked and then i restart the application.
It has always worked fine...
-Playback of the first song starts after 5 seconds
Although this depends on many things, I don't see logic in this being more slow than before. So, there's only logic in this if you "caused" it yourself (like using FLAC now, while before it was just WAV).
I don't want to put tasks upon you, but if you can proove that with the exact same settings and tracks an earlier version started playing quicker, please let me know. In any case, don't forget what I told myself about W7 and its inconsistencies, which can be observed at using the Normalized Volume which for one album may take 5-7 seconds (which would be normal) and for another 1 minute.

It is the very exact settings as y5-06 which i keep in a different folder for comparison.
the differences are only:
-special mode enabled with 32 samples in the new version.I do not use the normalize for volume.
I think that it may be somewhat related with the wallpaper that fails to be created on the first song played (the one that takes 5s in my case).
Also, Y6 on different computer, similar settings (but no special mode here, 64 samples, larger wallpaper size) - no slowness at all.
It can also be related to the disabled services and/or to poor videocard (intel x4500) compared to the other pc which is not optimized at all, all services run and the gfx is a very powerful 280gtx.
But because the interface was very snappy before, something must have changed in y6.
