there is an option in dt to make local copies, copy locally, of the group you wish to edit and then copy the xmp file back to the original drive, resync local copy, which would "greatly" aleviate your slowness. > I had considerable issues with DT files stored on USB connected to a router > (make believe server) and shared using SMB (took forever to import and > work). > > Oddly enough - if I am to copy the images back and forth using Nautilus or > command line - it would work much faster. > > Few months ago I changed the firmware to an open source one and gained > access to NFS shares on the router.
