Most of my images aren't worth a 15-minute loading time

,

On my NAS there are thousands of folders parallel to the one I am in.
NAS is not that fast as SSD. So this takes up to 15 minutes. And worst of all: I cannot abort or continue work on my image.

So, some update about sub-folder number vs time to query them

Some test. Local SSD. I measure multiple times, and at least once after PC restart. I not goes to sub seconds (millisecs)

  • 1000 empty folder - looks fast, like 1-2 sec
  • 50 folder query with 1 (one) .orf (same ORF) in each folder - 1-2 sec
  • 200 folder - 3 file (1x ORF + 2x .jpg) : 2 sec
  • 500 folder - 1 file (1x ORF): 3 sec
  • 1000 folder - 1 file (1x ORF): 6 sec
  • 1000 folder - 2 file (2x ORF): 6 sec
  • 2000 folder - 1 file (1x ORF): 12 sec
  • 2000 folder - 1 file (1x ORF): 10-12 sec
  • 2000 folder - 2 file (1x ORF, 1x jpg): 10 sec
  • 2000 folder - 5 file (1x ORF, 4x jpg): 10 sec

Summary:

  • Folder count vs time seems linear.
  • Seems its not depend how many files in the folder (also procmon trace event durations suggest this)

Actually i think its pretty fast - at least in local SSD.

Why this ‘sub-folder’ query happen? I have no idea. May its just part of simple standard file query stuff (in one point of view folder act also ‘like a file’).

I guess yours may may related with NAS. Or who knows… Actually i don’t think its really related with PL, or at least not about folders. I suggest (previously highlight) to check event durations, i its like more than 0.01 sec is can be a ‘suspect’.

May i can offer for you: if you send a procmon dump file of this ‘15 minute’ (via some cloud drive, procmon with filter to: Process name: DxO.PhotoLab.exe and Save → Events displayed current filter filter), may i can take a look in the weekend.
