Catalog slow update
« on: October 19, 2021, 12:58:26 AM »
when I'm opening a catalog it take to long time to see the previews in browse window. If  I scroll down in browser window It can take several minutes to see the previews in the browser. Is there a way to fix this. Mac OS Big Sur Macbook pro 16" intelcore I7 32 mb memory 1 tb hard drive The Catalog is on  a Raid and database on Local hdd on laptop.

"Enable Raw Rendering" may be a prime suspect.

Roger,

Is the RAID disk local (directly connected to your Mac) or is it a networked drive?

Roger,

Ok, there's no current setting that will improve things when the original image is available and is located on a slow device.  I'd like to add an option to use the local proxy images for user preferred disks.  In that case you'd mark your RAID array as a disk that proxies are preferred.  This would result in thumbnails and previews appearing instantly but at lower quality.

The feature does not exist at this time.  I will be adding it in the future.

I have it as one of my priorities, but it's likely to be a month or two away.
