Filtering or browsing in the Library/All Images

Robert Hansen

I am a long time CO user, however, with one large frustration or maybe I am missing something obvious.

I use CO20 - in catalog mode and also use albums and smart albums extensively, however, there are often times I need to find images that I don't remember the keyword for or what year I shot them or....

I then have to resort to Library/All Images and this is where my huge frustration is. I am on Windows 10 with a powerful 8 core cpu, 32 gb ram and two very large SSD drives for both the catalog and my images..  110,102 images referenced in the catalog and all previews have been created.  Things by and large run pretty quick, however, the frustration is that every time I click on All Images it takes 21+ minutes for it to count all images and therefore the same amount of time to do my first All Image search. If I leave All Images and without closing CO20 and return to All Images it does search a couple of minutes quicker, however, it still counts every image before completing the search.

Unless I am missing something obvious this has to be a very major bug in CO.  I can create a smart album search and it runs quite quickly - however, I have to know exactly the criteria and it also has to be case sensitive for keywords. Why then does a similar search take so frigging long using All Images and why does it recount every time you access it?

I also retain my LR catalog for approximately the same number of images for a number of reasons - CO is my main work horse. Doing a similar all catalog/all image search in LR is very quick - usually in the 20 - 40 second range.

Any knowledgeable help would be appreciated

Thanks

Bob

    I'm currently opening a single folder od about 2000 images in a catalog which contains about 200,000 all in all. (Yes, I know this is too large for C1 to deal with, but I have migrated from LR where my main catalog was nearly a million images and it was fine).

    When I say I'm currently opening, we're at 12 minutes and counting, and about 2/3rds through. (The files are on a hard disk, the catalog on a good SSD).

    (This was after a restart after opening the catalog and no images appearing in the Broswer at all)

    (And God knows what I'm going to do when I get to the other folders I want to work on - the ones that aren't being displayed in the folder hierarchy...)

    I mean look, I'm not going to sit here and say that C1's performance is pathetic and that that's fundamentally what the problem is. But if someone else were to say that, well, perhaps I wouldn't disagree...

    I started this post and I will say it - C1's database performance is pathetic. It needs to be fixed. As great as C1 is many ways it will never get the market share it deserves with this pitiful database performance.
