Thanks, but my e-mail is about showing one big image, not about showing a list of thumbnails. I'm afraid that anything smaller than a full-screen view doesn't allow me to evaluate these images and to assign a proper score/rating to them. > Also go into settings.

I'm seeing a problem with no preload of a big-size preview, a one-image-at-a-time thing. > There are third party raw viewers that are very quick. Qeegie is one, but > they won't show the edited raw. A third-party tool won't manipulate Darktable's rating of an image. I'm looking for a workflow advice which integrates with Darktable, not for a replacement tool. > Make sure your machine is serious.

I would prefer not to buy new hardware here; this laptop is pretty powerful (Thinkpad T420s, i5-2520M, 16GB RAM,...). In the way I work, an up-front delay doesn't matter that much. It's the iterative price which I pay during each move between two images which slows me down. This is why I believe that a better preload is a better solution than throwing more HW at the problem for accommodating these peak loads.
