I’m using Shotwell 0.20.1 with Ubuntu 14.04 in a Parallels Virtual Machine on a
Mac.
(I’m not sure of the sub-version of Shotwell, but it was part of an automatic
update that took place this evening).
I’ve noticed slow import of images before, but as there were hundreds of
pictures, I just took the dog for a walk!
Tonight I had only two images to download, and they seemed to take forever so I
decided to investigate further.
With no programs running in the Ubuntu VM, I switched on my camera at 21:13:00.
At 21:13:14 Shotwell opened, and gave an warning:
Unable to fetch previews from the camera: Could not claim the USB device (-53)
I dismissed this, and clicked on the NIKON DSC3100 label in the side-bar to
show the preview page.
This showed “Starting import, please wait”.
As I waited, I brought up the System Monitor - Shotwell was using between 60
and 80 % of CPU resources and 330-385 MiB of memory, and continued to do so
until 21:25, when the preview image came up.
CPU usage dropped to 0 % and memory to 240 MiB.
Twelve minutes to download a single preview image from a camera is obviously
not acceptable, is there something I need to set up to correct this?
