Veery slow catalog update
« on: December 10, 2020, 12:24:20 AM »
When trying to scan my SSD drive to catalog, it goes fast in the first phase (scan to catalog) but then it takes ages to see a the photos added to the catalog.
I am only able to see one of the folders of my SSD drive present in the catalog with several other missing. I am not even sure if the folder has been added completetly.
When I check the tasks, I see many pending with very slow progress (see attached screenshot).
Are there any ways to speed this up? I am not sure if I can close my PC, put it sleep, disconnect the SSD, etc... the progress is well hidden and I am just not confident in it's accuracy.
I've done it once already only to find out that many folders were missing (and I thought it was all done when the scan to catalog window got closed).

What build of Photo Mechanic Plus are you running?

Build 5376
It took several hours (definitely over 6h) in total after I figured out I can prioritize tasks but I can say it was much slower than expected.
I am on Dell XPS15 I7 16gb RAM, WIN10, SSD - Sandisk Extreme 1TB.
