PM 4.5 Veeeeeery Slow and Image problems

[theorib]

Hi Kirk,

I have experienced a few absurdly slownessess in PM 4.5 like a few minutes only to show the thumbs for a couple of raw or JPG files...
It didn't happen with the Beta versions and I still couldn't figure when it does happen as it's not all the time.It also never happened with version 4.4.3.3

Also, jpg files that don't expressly have the.jpg extension apearing on the file name don't show up properly, they show up as "" this also doesn't happen in version 4.4.3.3. If I open the very same folder with both apps they behave completely diferent.

I'd like to have a few of these images to test with.

Also, jpg files that don't expressly have the.jpg extension apearing on the file name don't show up properly, they show up as "" this also doesn't happen in version 4.4.3.3. If I open the very same folder with both apps they behave completely diferent.

True.  We changed that.  Having images with no filename extension is just an invitation to incompatibility problems in the future.  Apple has explained over and over that filename extensions should be used instead of Finder metadata.  We decided to enforce this restriction in version 4.5.  We have received enough feedback on this issue that we may reverse our decision until we are forced to by an OS update that takes that ability away.

Please send me the sample images if possible.  Contact me privately for upload information.

Thanks,

Kirk,

I'll try to repeat that problem but I haven't been able to do that yet. As soon as I do I'll send you files...

Best,


Theo
