[Feature Request] Exclude all the images with the "_exp" suffix when selecting a folder

[ykarus117]

While processing a batch of images I've noticed that each image generation also generates a thumbnail alongside with it, these end up also being tagged by the tagging module. I've no use for such thumbnails as they end up occupying quite a bit of disk space especially for substantial datasets.

Feature request: allow the user to disable thumbnail generation

Can you be more specific? Because I don't remember coding anything like that. The Gallery page is the only part of the program creating thumbnails to avoid loading the full image when loading the gallery, but those thumbnails live only inside memory.

Uh then it must be a something wrong down my pipeline, apologies.

I've noticed it while trying to resize a very big dataset and I ended up with a way bigger output folder and I was a bit confued, it probably ended up upscaling some very small thumbnail that I overlooked lol. Eventually could you add even a simplified filename filter for the input folder?

"Eventually could you add even a simplified filename filter for the input folder?"
Can you clarify what you mean by that? Also, if you used grabber, theres a chance you made it download thumbnails to your output folder.

Each time you select an input folder (in any tab as far I can see) it grabs everything inside it. It could be useful (if for the example the folder is shared with some other program) to filter the input directly from the UI.

IE:
"photo-10_53_exp.jpg" and I want to exclude all the images with the "_exp" suffix.

Oh, I see. I'll keep in mind for future versions. I'll leave the issue open so I can keep track.
I'm not really developing the tools extensively at the moment. The latest released .exe is a few months behind the latest commit in the repo.

Understandable, I would have made a pull request myself, but I'm not proficient with C# lol. Thanks anyway and again apologies for my initial oversight.
