    Berhard, tnx but Its not that, I have tried it. After clicking import, the process of importing the pics you want in your catalog takes ages, also moving and deleting pics from catalog is very slow. My settings r the same as prev CO 20.

    Other people reported similar problems.  The latest CO upgrade dramatically slowed down image importing/moving/deleting operations.  Previous versions of CO seemed to work fine.

    In my case (2017 MacBook Pro on Catalina 10.15.3, 50 k images in catalogue) importing 500 Nikon D5 (20 MP, fast XQD cards) raw images takes  more than 20 minutes.  It used to be several times faster.  And the only thing I changed in my setup is the upgraded CO.

    can't agree.

    I'm on a Mac Pro 6.1 running latest  Catalina OS and CO is responsive as usual.

    Hi Peter,

    You are referring to Bridge. Does it mean that your concerns are about the Capture One catalog ? If yes, what is the number of pictures in it ? How many pictures do you import each time ?

    @ Bernhard.
    Cant agree, I am on that same Mac Pro 6.1
    I use latest Mojave OS but Its not that, prev CO 20 pro worked just fine with Mojave.
    Now, importing/moving/deleting images is slow, very slow.
    Importing 100 pics now takes 10 min., thats unworkable..

    John, i reckon you talking about importing from a SD-Card. Have you checked "skip duplicates"? having this option checked will slow down import a lot.

    ok, i see. I don't import into a catalog which is probably the reason for my imports being reasonable quick.

    John,

    i just imported (for testing) 147 images from a Synology NAS into my CO catalog whitin 5 minutes including generating previews.

    that looks ok for me.

    Bernhard,

    Tnx, thats normal. The problem for me is that the prev version CO 20 pro, also did it in 5 min for that amount of pics. I changed nothing (CO settings or MacOS).
    So I can conclude that this new version with all its improvements is unworkable for me and have to reinstall the previous version.

    How big is your CO catalog? Mine is 60GB. Tnx.

    After a reinstall of C20, its a little bit better. work on Catalina newest version. Even to start the program takes longer than before the update to 13.1.172. Its a iMac pro, 3,2GHZ, 64GB, Vega 64. I don´t work with import, just take the pics from the selection of x.arw files and work on them. Even if there are 200 images, it was much faster.

    I have posted this elsewhere (maybe three weeks ago - no response yet altho other users have agreed)....

    Been using C1 for the past 9 years....

    Running Mac Pro (Late 2013 model) 10 core (intel Xeon E5) 32GB RAM OS10.15.5

    Have around 1500 images in a session, about 50% of those are IQ3 (100MP) files....never had this amount of wait time for previews....it can take up to TEN MINUTES to wait for the latest images to 'render' to preview thumbnail when the session is opened anew...  Previous versions of C1 (20) would take MAYBE 2-3 minutes tops....

    poor form Capture One....poor form....

    John,

    Since I do not import into the catalogue and I also have a separate catalogue every year, the catalogues do not become very large.
    My catalog for 2020 has about 16MB so far.

    @Clayton Hairs

    I have the same issue also with session.

    I'm also using Capture One since a very very long time. Starting with a Phase One P20 back.

    It was fast 8 years ago. Since then it has a lot of more features, but it always getting slower and slower.

    Even on a iMac Pro with 8 Core 3.2 GHZ,  CPU, 2 fastest GPU's, max. of RAM. NAS with 10Gbit Ethernet on macOS Catalina.

    It helps a little bit, when you delete the file com.phaseone.capture13.plist. in .../Users/library/preferences before you install the new version.

    In my opinion Capture One should be the best and FASTEST RAW converter. Including for tethered shooting. And not full with feature which I have in Photoshop or which I can solve with Photoshop. It should not be a replacement for Photoshop. I understand they choose the path, because of  the competitor of Lightroom. But with Lightroom it's the same issues since years. Slow and Slow and Slow. A least I can use Capture One on a network drive, which I can not with Lightroom.

    I hope there will be a change in the direction of Capture One. I mean the fastest car on the highway is not the best offroad.

    nice comments Daniel....I will try that recommendation on the plist thank you...there is only one piste and it is off-piste ;)

    yes yes , off we go, hopefully next winter.

    .....maybe make first a copy of that .plist file, just in case.

    I have also noticed that with Session from the older version, which are upgraded everything is very slow, not usable. When I copy all the RAW Files to a new Session it works fine (of course then I loose all the settings.....)

    Cheers

    HI everybody,

    i have the same issue.What i saw ,doing some test, is that probably the problem of the slowness of CO is the integration with osx.

    I have a new i mac pro 64 gb ram radeon 64 vega,when i export 200 hundred raw files i open the monitor of cpu and gpu,what i can see is that CO use a really small amonut of the power of calculation of the machine.I wrote to the customer services but they don't have a real reply to this.

    I hope that in the next version the collaboration between osx,cpu,gpu and CO will be improved...

    Cheers
