Dear Camera-Bits Team. I have a strange problem with an extremely slow speed of catalogs. At first I thought it was because of the speed of the LAN cable and/or my NAS. But after long tests, the following problem also becomes apparent, if both the folder with my photos (in my test only a single, small folder with only 50 photos, all Nikon D850 RAW files!) as well as the catalog are stored on the Windows 10 PC. In the first step I added the 50 images to my test catalog, which took 13 seconds. Not insanely fast, but OK. Then I searched for these images in numerous tests with different search parameters via Search, Browse or Filter. In the list it immediately shows me the number of pictures. But in the thumbnails window I only see empty placeholders for the thumbnails. Also the text under the thumbnails (image name etc.) is not visible, just a small red dot (see screenshot). I did a lot of tests with the same 50 images and stopped the time until instead of the placeholders finally the thumbnails could be seen. The fastest was 6 seconds, the longest was 4:30 minutes! What I can say is that the type of search or the search term doesn't matter. For example, search for 'Headline': Thumbnails there after 50 seconds during the first test. Then close the browser tab and done exactly the same search again takes 4:30 minutes, the third time 6 seconds, the fourth time 2:10 minutes, etc. It also doesn't matter what kind of files were in the test folder (JPEG, RAW with XMP, RAW without XMP) The problem goes even further: once the thumnails are there, they disappear as soon as I click on one of the thumnails. At some point the thumbnails come back, but clicking on them again is still not possible.
I work with Windows 10, all updates made. Currently I have the latest PM+ version (build 5560), but the problem was already with 5551 and earlier. Attached you will find my PM log file.
I very much hope that you can help me!
