Move Thumbnails back into DB
« on: 2019-01-30 20:36:52 »
My DB currently has the thumbnails stored in files. I see there is an optiong to move thumbnails to files, but is there an  option/way to move the thumbs back into the DB. I am finding that thumbnail loading is a bit slow and also when I scroll the thumbnails the display lags when scrolling in the foreward direction but not when scrolling in the backwards direction.

I'm afraid there isn't (other than setting up a new database).

Some other things that you could try to speed up browsing your thumbnails:
  • Display no or just a few user fields in the thumbnail listing.
  • In Options | Preferences | Thumbnail view, Turn off color management (Options | Viewing | Color Management also has an on/off switch for the thumbnail view.. not sure if that's the same setting. I have both off, myself).
  • In Options | Preferences | Advanced, you can set a larger database buffer.

No Joy ... Converting my old DB to t10 version with thumbs stored inside DB this time  .. we will see if that runs faster ...  19 hrs of conversion done so far. About 4 more hours left to finish!

YAY :P

Update maybe now just a couple hours ...
