Catalog is crashing after importing JPEG/TIF - quitting and reopening

Mario Buda

Hi!
I have a 67 GB catalog with about 18000 images in it. I changed from using DNG files to JPEG and TIF(LZW) to put into my catalog. I use it to organise my images.

Every time I import a punch of images, around 200 file in 10 different folder, after waiting for updating the previews everything works fine. But then after quitting and reopening the catalog will crash. I tried to import just 100 files, than quit, reopen was OK and then adding the next 100 files, quitting and the catalog is crashing again. I also tried to use TIF with LZW but its the same result.

The catalog is on AFSP formate SSD, the files are on a MAC OS extended (journaled) HD. My system is a running 10.14.6 with 48 GB ram.

Thanks for helping.

    I don't get why you use a RAW converter (with big emphasis on "convert" and rather poor functions in terms of "DAM") to organize exported files? I think there are plenty of apps out there with some well working library organisation functions. Organising photos in C1 is okayish if you just import them from a memory card, but if you really want to use it as digital asset management ... I might be wrong but so far my impression is "C1 as DAM is asking for troubles".

    Well, I used a Leica M for more then 10 years and I used C1 for RAW and DAM. Now I changed to Hasselblad and wanted to use C1 just for DAM and the old DNGs from Leica.

    Is there a good DAM which can convert my C1 catalog?

    None that I know of (LR has kind of import support for C1's catalogs, I read once*) - but that doesn't mean anything substantial. I take it you developed the TIFs with C1? Maybe adressing C1 support could give a better clue?

    *And if LR does a similar job like C1 on Aperture libraries, you're probably better off to rebuild it manually in a DAM of your choice.

    Any DAM recommended?

    www.excire.com

    XnView MP

    Photo Supreme

    FotoStationPro

    Mario, I think you and I define DAM in a different way, no offense. I want to work with my pictures by using them linked into different albums / collections; I like to right click on a picture to see in which collection or project it is linked to; occasionally I also want to search for pictures for which I used the black and white tab or other kind of edits; be able to complete GPS data. I also like to find names of collections and projects by using a full-text search, typically the same functions Spotlight offers. And C1 doesn't as it has to be compatible to Windows.

    I have an Excire license, it's fun to see how it interprets a harmless river scene with some ducks as "dolphins; predator; ocean animals" (146 ducks as dolphins and one single dolphin sculpture somewhere in Wales), but it does a great job finding faces or similar faces. It can arrange pictures in collections and groups, but it can't open the pictures in C1. And: it only sees the non-edited RAWs, so "unsaturated" is a keyword applied to 28% of all pictures.

    XnView and Photo Supreme are just Viewers with not much organization abilities else than copying and moving RAWs around.

    I simply didn't find anything close to the functions of Apple Aperture in terms of DAM.
