I am battling with my file system backup mounting my home fileserver directory via wifi on my laptop (i7,8GBRAM) and was not happy with the processing speed, such as reading the RAW files (18MB each).
So I upgraded my internal hard disk to a 512GB SSD drive. After having move all my fotos to the SSD, I am now reimporting the images. And this is still slooow. Thus far DT (head) has accummulated 300min importing some 34000 files (actually most of then JPGs) and is half way through, while the indexing has just about started. Is this the performance we have to live with? If yes, then removing and reimporting is easily started but not quickly finished. greetings On Sa, 2012-12-08 at 14:21 +0100, Jose Carlos Garcia Sogo wrote: > > > El sábado, 8 de diciembre de 2012, Rainer Poisel escribió: > Hej, > > I have just started using darktable to manage my digital > photos.
