Importing pictures very slow
When I use the option " Import images" and browse the a folder on my NAS with contains let say 3000 pictures, it takes a terrible amount of time to create and show all the thumbnails. So it not even importing pictures at that moment.
Is there a faster way to import a complete folder into C1? I'm not interested to see all the thumbnails, C1 should just import the pictures.
I've tried the synchronise folder option but on the toplevel structure, C1 does not create folders which aren't imported yet and it feels like it takes days.
I connect to my NAS (Synology 918+) via SMB via a giga net ethernet cabled connection.
Every connection to my NAS feels normaly on respect of speed, only C1 is slow.

In the Import Images dialog, at the bottom, there is a setting Import Collection with a drop-down list. The default is Open collection when import starts.
Change this to Never open import collection. This should speed up large imports.0 -
Does this setting also helps for the pre import phase when c1 searches for pictures in the selected folder?
Then I’ll try it. Current c1 is importing 4069 files and reports it will take about 2 hours0 -

No, I don't think so.[quote="NNN636737621499121270" wrote:

That is a lot of time for 4000 files. Although I have a similar NAS as you, and run everything over 1 Gb Ethernet, it is much slower compared to the internal drive. I think that is the bottleneck here.0 -
Tried to import pictures from 3 weeks Iceland. Yes, about 4000 files because I shoot raw + jpg.
Almost done, and C1 12.1.5 crashed in the process of building the thumbnails. So again 2 hours lost....
pffff start losing faith in C1....
and still no reaction on my support call....
It's useless now in my situation....0 -
I have approx. 100,000 images on an External TB4 Device with 16 TB of storage on four 2.5" SSD's (Samsung EVO 860) set as RAID 0 connected via TB port via CALDIGIT Model TB4T Element hub to new 16 In MacBook Pro M1 with 64 GB of Ram, and a single 4 TB SSD as Mac HardDrive. The OS is Ventura 13.1
I am importing to a new C1 Catalog located on the MacBook's HD as noted above. t's been running for a little over 2 days and is at 99,857 images imported. The import process/counter at top of the screen stops completely from time to time. Even when no other external program is running. And it advances about one image every 30 seconds unless I click anywhere on the viewer screen; then it starts up again and imports another batch of 20 or so images fairly quickly then slows down or stops again until I click the screen again w/ mouse (no button pressed, just click the screen)
Other than bypass the CalDigit hub, which I will try when this import session is completed, do you have any suggestion for speeding it up? Also I wasn't able to find the setting Paul Referred to: "In the Import Images dialog, at the bottom, there is a setting Import Collection with a drop-down list. The default is Open collection when import starts. Change this to Never open import collection. This should speed up large imports".
Can any provide add'l guidance on this
All thoughts and references to other potential resource's will be much appreciated!
UPDATE: TO CLARIFY. The actual IMPORT speed is fine. Took about 45 Mins.. It is the time to display the files on IMPORT SCREEN that is so slow.

I found the import drop down Paul referred to
