So, somehow I have managed to not have any previews in Lightroom, so
what is happening is that as I scroll through my pictures, it is
building previews on the fly.
As you can imagine, this is quite time consuming, as I have to scroll
through the directory, wait for what is on the screen to build, and then
scroll down to another blank section of screen and wait for previews to
build, etc.
Is there a way to get Lightroom to point to a directory and build
previews without going to the effort of scrolling through all 36000 or
so images on my hard drive?
Navigate to a folder, or All Photographs in the navigator then from the menu
Library / Previews / Build 1:1 Previews
or
Library / Previews / Build Standard Sized Previews
(and it'll probably prompt you with Build full previews for all photos
or only one? if you only had one photo selected.)
(This is on 5.7.1 for Windows.)
Is this something you could start and then leave to churn away on its own?
Run once to let it build previews for all 36,000 images (over night or something
like that) so that when you come back to it later you don't have to wait while
it builds new previews every time you look through your images?
