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.

gem0303 Got it, thank you! I'll take this back to the team and see what we can do to give you more control over what's shown on your folders.

 

Regarding better visually differentiating between files and folders - appreciate your feedback here as well! We've gotten similar feedback from other users and are currently working on a solution to make it easier to differentiate at a glance. Stay tuned!

I'm with the OP in that this new feature is annoying and makes it very hard to distinguish between files and folders.  Plus its not even consistent as I have folders that just show the folder and others with the collage all in the same folder.
