Constant re-generation of previews

Marko Rosic
Hi,

I've been using CO1 for some time now but not until I used Canon 5D Mk II have I experienced this behavior. I have a session with about 500 of shots in each session favorite folder and the previews keep being re-generated with pop-up and all. Each time taking tens of minutes. This all happens with no apparent reason or my action...

Currently I have 8.2 but I had this issue with previous release as well.

Thanks,
Marko

    Marko,

    Not sure it is relevant, but where do you have your images stored (I assume you work with sessions, as you are talking about favorites): internal disk or external disk?

    Hi Paul,

    Session is on internal disk... I have noticed that one case when it happens is when I delete/trash the image.

    Session trash or total delete?

    I am afraid I run out of options. Call in the help of the kind monsters (grin) at Phase One (filing a support case, I meant to say)?

    Session Trash.


    Marko,

    I have, just once and back in V7 days, experienced a corruption of an edit file in a session (several thousand images) that caused some very odd problems working in that session. ( I should mention that this was using Windows but that may not be significant.)

    Eventually I spotted a very odd looking thumbnail for one image. Regenerating it left it looking the same. So I deleted the edit file and the session started to work reliably again. I assume the corrupt edit was causing some problems somehow in the internal session file cross references.

    The only thing that I could even vaguely relate to the start of the problems with that session was a delete or two (to session trash) and then a reinstatement of one of the files. It was the first time I had used the option and the problems started just afterwards. However I cannot in any way make a connection to the problem file - I simply don't remember which files I deleted.

    I did, subsequently, try to repeat the process in as many different ways as I could think of but found no problems at all.

    It was all very inconclusive ... except that having found the dodgy "edit" file, deleted it and re-edited the original the positive result was that everything worked perfectly after that.

    So, not the same as your problem description BUT some sort of odd file corruption could lead to many different outcomes depending in what it affected. It might still be possible that the cause originated from the same activity - deletion to Trash.

    You could try creating a new session and importing the same folders you had in the previous session. This should retain the edits as you import but will create a new cross ref cosession file. It might also be good to check the the thumbnails all look OK before doing that but your description suggests a different root cause for the problem even though it might possibly result in the same sort of effect. So the thumbnails may not offer guidance about the source of the problem.

    HTH.
