Disable folder image preview
Is there a way to prevent a specific folder tile from showing a preview of the images inside it? I have NSFW images inside some subfolders and don't want them visible from the parent folder.

Maybe this folder image preview could be a user selection along with the Grid, Large Grid, List, Large List.
Folder images previewing in Grid modes is so distracting.
I cant determine at a glance previewed single images from folders. And if a folder only has one image, it looks just like a .jpg or other filetype preview. This has slowed down my work flow considerably.
The very least you could do is outline the folder icons, or make the background color look like a folder shape or a different color... or all of the above.
Please!
and thank you.

I agree with this idea - having the option to view as "collage stack" is distracting, but some people may want it. I liked the mockup of the folder image behind the collage. looks differentiated nicely, rather than just plain white background with no folder icon.
