Hi all,

I've started trying to use darktable 'for real' and have run into a fairly
annoying issue.   The lighttable UI becomes really sluggish if I create a
collection defined by taking a tag with a lot of matches, and then
selecting "Exclude Images" and selecting a tag that matches a small number
of images.

I've tried this with a collection of about 7500 images, and an 'exclude'
tag that matches about 300 of them - and another collection of about 1100
images, and an exclude tag of maybe 200 or so images.

In both cases the general UI response gets very slow - the highlight lags
about a second behind mouse movements, and scrolling gets very slow.

if I select 'clear this rule' on the exluded tag, the performance gets a
*lot* better.

I often want to scan through a relatively large # of images looking for
things that might work for a particular art project - but I usually want to
exclude any images that I've used in previous projects...

Any suggestions on alternative ways to accomplish this, or how to speed
this up would be great!

Should I log a bug?

best regards,

Warren
