Any way to speed up the library?
DIS2006 Suite Library
Ok I admit I have a lot more files than the average DIP user is likely to have, (about 150GB on a 400GB hard drive) but it takes at least 5 minutes just to launch the library and then another 3-5 minutes before i can actually do anything. Labeling takes about a minute a file just to process the label and i only have about 20GB labeled anyway because its so agonisingly slow - so before i give up on the library and switch to ACDsee 8- is there any way to speed up the library processing? or improve performance? Ta for any suggestions |

Once this has completed it should speed things up somewhat. The .pd3 files contains your thumbs and metadata. Also, try closing all programs before opening the Library...and doing some maintenance might help if you have not done it recently.
