Q-Ship Mod - Thumbs.db

Captain Nemo · 07-22-13, 08:05 AM

I recently installed a skin for the IXB boat and JSGME reported that Thumbs.db had already been changed by Q-ship mod and whether I wanted to proceed or not. I went ahead, then loaded SH3 and looked in the museum at both the IXB and Q-Ship and both look OK. However, just to be on the safe side, can someone shed some light on what this file does please?

Thumbs.db is "garbage" of OS - need remove it.

Agreed, that bugga crops up in most of my pc files regardless of their content...trash it.

In fact I should apologise for having left it in the mod, I certainly wouldn't have had I not overlooked it.

thumbs.db is a windows database in which the small ("thumbnail") preview pictures are stored. you can deactivate this in your windows explorer settings.
