[SOLVED] [X5] Removing all deleted files from thumbnails?

Post by Shohreh »

Hello

Even after a video file has been deleted from the hard disk, Corel keeps its thumbnail (with a yellow camera icon in the upper left-hand corner ) and displays the following error message when clicking on its icon:

"Original file [C:\Users\joe\ MAH01293.MP4] doesn't exist."

Short of clicking on the "Delete" button for every single thumbnail, is there a way to tell VS to just remove all the thumbnails of files that are no longer on the hard disk?

Thank you.

Left click on the first one you want to delete - go to the last one you want to delete - hold down "Shift" as you select with a left click - all thumbnails will be selected - press delete - all thumbnails will be deleted.

or if it a complete library containing only thumbnails you want to delete - select the library from the library list and delete it.
