[match-your-steps]

every time I complain about the search function in windows file explorer being highly ineffective due to taking minimum ten minutes to load through and someone over 45 is present, they always say something like "oh but just think. back in my day the computers were so much slower that your file explorer issues are merely a blip in the shimmering galaxy of time" well ok dearest elder but with all due respect I was not TALKING about 30 years ago. this is happening NOW and the fact that you walked uphill both ways to school actually does not dismiss that, in this day and age, by today's standards, this feature of this product does not really work

So something weird is going on with the file icons and thumbnails on my video files:

My video files usually show a thumbnail, but sometime today any new video files I make show the icon and not the thumbnail.

I've checked my settings, they're set to showing the thumbnail and not just the icon.

I've also reset the settings, this has not changed anything.

This happens only with video files, but affects all video file types such as MP4 and MOV.

I'm lost as to what's going on and how to fix it. I use the thumbnail A LOT when finding files with the type of hobby I have, so I really hope someone has an ideas what's going on...

I use Windows 11.

When it comes to computer operating systems, imagine the following:

You have Folder B.

Folder B is inside of Folder A.

Inside Folder B there is nothing. There are no files. Folder B is entirely empty.

Folder B is the only thing within Folder A.

When you go back to the home tab, what should Folder A's information label say?

Should Folder B count as an item, making Folder A's label "1 Item"?

Or Should Folder B not count as an item since it is not technically a file, making Folder A's label "0 Items"?

The File Explorer Replacement - The Files App for Windows!

The Windows File Explorer has been around for a while, with very few changes over the years. In this video, I'll show you an alternative to the file explorer that you might want to consider. The "Files" application. This open source application attempts to modernize the Windows 11 File Explorer while providing features that should have been added to the File Explorer by default. I'll be going over some of the application's key features, comparing it to the default file explorer and finally, I'll go over some of the things that you should consider before switching to it for yourself. Either way, I'm sure you'll appreciate some of the features that this application brings to the table.

You know Windows, people might use your search feature in file explorer more IF IT RAN FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF SMELL. *Windows Media Player* (yes, it still exists) can do a simple search for music files with specific text in seconds but file explorer? I've been sitting through 2 Bryan Adams songs since I typed in the text I'm looking for. That's 8 minutes and 48 seconds combined lmao.

Zoomer here, and I do indeed have questions about computers- how do filesystems work, and why should we care (I know we should, but I'm not exactly sure why)?

So why should we care?

You need to know where your own files are.

I've got a file on a flash drive that's been handed to me, or an archival data CD/DVD/Bluray, or maybe it's a big heavy USB external hard drive and I need to make a copy of it on my local machine.

Do I know how to navigate to that portable media device within a file browser?

Where will I put that data on my permanent media (e.i. my laptop's hard drive)?

How will I be able to reliably find it again?

We'll cover more of the Why and How, but this will take some time, and a few addendum posts because I'm actively hitting the character limit and I've rewritten this like 3 times.

Let's start with file structure

Files live on drives: big heavy spinning rust hard drives, solid state m.2 drives, USB flash drives, network drives, etc. Think of a drive like a filing cabinet in an office.

You open the drawer, it's full of folders. Maybe some folders have other folders inside of them. The folders have a little tab with a name on it showing what's supposed to be in them. You look inside the folders, there are files. Pieces of paper. Documents you wrote. Photographs. Copies of pages from a book. Maybe even the instruction booklet that came with your dishwasher.

We have all of that here, but virtualized! Here's a helpful tree structure that Windows provides to navigate through all of that. In the case of Windows, it's called Explorer. On OSX MacOS, the equivalent is called Finder.

I don't have to know where exactly everything is, but I have a good idea where thing *should* based on how I organize them. Even things that don't always expose the file structure to you have one (like my cellphone on the right). I regularly manually copy my files off of my cellphone by going to the Camera folder so I can sift through them on a much bigger screen and find the best ones to share. There are other reasons I prefer to do it that way, but we won't go into that here. Some people prefer to drag and drop, but that doesn't always work the same between operating systems. I prefer cut and paste.

Standby for Part 2!
