+1 too. just a note on this. Using a 20 tiles vrt with ecw files, for a total size of 120 Go, on 1.8 , raster icon generation takes ages. On 1.9, it was almost instantaneous (with raster icon ON). Since only big tiled vrt seem to slow down, and since having icon remains pretty helpful in legend,

Hi, A discussion on the german fossgis-user group revealed that generating raster previews slows down raster loading a lot. Esp. for VRT raster catalogs. Can we set this setting (Settings - Options - Canvas and Legend - Create Raster Icons (may be slow)) to off by default for new users? I

Hmm . I just tested and looked .. It seems that it is already deactivated by default .. deleting the .qgis2 folder and start from scratch showed that it is not active .. probably it's something from an earlier installation? can anyone confirm? On Thu, Jun 27, 2013 at 11:06 AM, Anita Graser

On linux it's in ~/.config/QGIS/QGIS2.conf (I believe in every distribution). Default is still true. It's a really simple fix, I'll just commit it. If there's a problem, please complain. If there's the demand for it, a threshold size (resolution * bands?) could be introduced (for 2.1 I'd say).

Hi Matthias, Thank you - I don't think the threshold would be too useful. With the VRT format the problem is probably that potentiall hundred/thousands of files would have to be opened just to generate this small icon that is of very limited use. Thank you for your fix! Andreas On Thu, 27
