Just to add: darktable died (actually the laptop did (maybe got too hot?)) So I had to restart the import again. Diligently, DT started right from the beginning again, 34754 images all over again... at the same time reindexing some 12000 images.
I wonder if it will go through this time. Likely to take more than 15hours. no way to sped up things? greetings Eildert On Sa, 2012-12-08 at 18:19 +0100, Eildert Groeneveld wrote: > 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.
