Question

•  Stop Illustrator from calculating files' icon previews.

Hello -

 

I notice that Illustrator calculates the icon preview of each file every time, even though I have deactivated the icon preview saving (in the preferences panel). Cfr. attached screenshot.
The result is that some files appear grayed out (= none accessible) for a few seconds (you won't see it on the screenshot). It's tiresome and a waste of time at the end of the day.

 

Is there a way to avoid this?

Enjoy your day…

Did you save them with »Create PDF Copatible File« checked?

Hello c.pfaffenbichler -

Yes, indeed, we need it for a couple of reasons.

I understand there can be unavoidable reasons for this (placing in Indesign etc.) but I suspect this might be the crux in this case. 

If you uncheck it, just for testing, are the files more readily available?
