Kalimages uses the NTFS technology (alternate streams) to store image low definition thumbnails. Thumbnail is the a kind of “sub-file” nammed :thumb attached to the image file. More information (in French) on page: Windows 2000 et les fichiers Macintosh, section Les streams NTFS . This technology is available on the following Windows versions: NT, 2000, XP, 2003 and when images are stored on NTFS drives that are not set as read only access. If one of this is not available (images not on NTFS drives or in read only mode or if you use Windows 95, 98 or Me) thumbnails low definition are recalculated on each display/preview what of course is less powerful. We choose this technique instead of storing thumbnails into database to keep good performance both for searching by words, displaying thumbnails.
