How can PSu be so slow? What is it doing? To repeat, this is an Android app running on much less powerful hardware. With F-Stop the import of metadata and thumbnail creation for ~100,000 photos took just a few hours (probably 4 or 5). The job was certainly finished overnight and I can bring in batches of several thousand and start using the program pretty much immediately. With WLPG I was able to bring in my whole collection of ~150,000 photos and not worry about how long it took. My other recent experience of cataloging photos is with WLPG (Windows Essentials Photo Gallery) and the Android app F-Stop. How do people with 250,000 or more photos in their Catalog manage? The only adjustment I've made to the default import profile is to turn off versioning so I believe that all PSu is doing is reading the basic file information (path, name, date/time, etc) and metadata and putting that in the Catalog. it's running at about 42 photos per minute, so at this rate the import will take 6 or 7 hours on top of thumbnail creation. Synchronize Service is unbelievably slow. I'm currently importing a batch of ~16,000 photos which should take the catalog from 60,000 to 76,000. None of them seemed to make a significant improvement. I have tried compacting the database, turning off versioning, quitting all running programs, rebooting Windows. The import runs typically much faster after a program restart. What I did notice: restarting PSu from one import session to the next usually works a lot better. Perhaps this happens, because I tried importing a large amount of files. I have occasionally experienced fairly slow import sessions before. (14) trying the same import again this time everything works. (12) deleting the non-existent folders in PSu takes for ever, but eventually, witing long enough they are all gone (10) deleting the messed up subfolders in Windows File Explorer (9) trying to delete the folders in PSu and PSu completely stalls, have to kill it. (8) back in PSu: the folders and the files were there, the names here a mess to. (7) Checking the folders in Windows File Explorer: the subfolders (named by date) had all been created and wo different copies of the files had been placed inside, the naming of these files were a mess.
(5) clicked the start import button a second time, the renaming dialog popped up again, and again nothing happened. (4) started the import - my renaming dialog popped up, but nothing happened (FYI I am using the "Rename & Download by Prefix Import Script" from the resource repository at. (3) got asked if I wanted to save the changes of the profile (= different import folder) - yes. (2) without closing PSu, I started a different import of a different folder otherwise using the same profile.
(1) started first import, import, sorting into subfolders and renaming went well, no problems. For the record: I have recently experienced a "program hang" during one import session as well.
