Hi Tim Thank you for the information.
The issue is that when we run the command line *./dspace filter-media*, the thumbnail-generated files are also read, but they are skipped. This means the process reads the files from the beginning each time, which takes more time as the number of files increases. Is there any other method, such as executing a script, for generating thumbnails more efficiently?
