Moving files in Lr - very slow

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but the search on "move" does not return anything.
My issue: moving files between folders (on the same drive) seems to be very slow in Lr. Is there anyway to improve performance. The current performance I am seeing, often 20-30 seconds to move a file, is unworkable. I am trying to reorganize a significant number of files, which are also in collections.
OS: Vista
Computer: Dell quad core
Disk file indexing = off
Thanks in advance
Rory

I too find most of the usual operations--move, copy, make new folder ,etc, inordinately slow compared to using a file browser, or photo browser, such as Bridge. I do a lot of that, but not in LR, unless it is just the odd image that needs moving as I am working.
Better off doing that on the outside, and then resynching the directories, or even the entire collection (while you eat dinner) to make sure the db is kept up to date reflecting your moves.

CS4 File info dialog very slow to open and respond.

CS4 File info dialog very slow to open and respond. Every click or or key stroke takes more than 1 second to record. I have try multiple changes in the performance preferences and nothing has an affect. This is the only dialog box in the program that has the problem. The problem started when I uninstalled and reinstalled because of problems with the program freezing. I have changed every setting in the preferences performance section back and forth including 3 different amounts of memory usage (lo hi and recommended) restarting PS every time and nothing works. I would appreciate any help, keeping in mind that there have been no changes to the PC and it worked fine for a long time (approx 1/12 years) previous to the reinstall.

I've been having the same problem now for a few weeks and its killing me. Not sure what I can do, but in Photoshop and Bridge, the only programmes I use on a daily basis, it takes me forever to enter file information.

Moving table columns is very slow

In my application moving table columns is very slow, with the rendering of table cells dragging behind the rendering of the table cell (using Java 1.5). I use a custom table cell renderer that subclasses a JPanel and contains a JTextField.
I checked I was overriding all the methods that DefaultTableCellRenderer does for performance reasons and found I wasnt overiding validate() and invalidate(), over-riding these the table column performance is now ok, but the cells are now not rendered correctly.
I also put a System.out.println into getTableRendererComponent() and found that even if I only move a column slightly the getTableRendererComponent() is called for every cell displayed rather than just the cells within the column moved/columns either side of it which is what i expect.
Any ideas what i should do. My own vague idea is to put some code into validate() and invalidate() to only call super implemntaions when really need to, but dont know how to work this out.

Hi, thanks for your help - ive created a full test case, code below. I have reworked the code so I dont need to do a removeAll() but the issues remaining are:
1. If I override validate() with an empty method nothing is displayed in the grid
2. The renderer is alot slower than the using default renderer even though ive removed stuff like borders.
The code below has validate without the empty method.
(My real renderer is a bit more complicated, and I do require to use a JPanel)

Importing files in Comp. very slow

Hi everyone,
I have to convert Sony MTS AVCHD files into prores LT to edit them with other LT video files. Compressor can do it without problem.
But when I import MTS files in Compressor there is a long time of lagging before I can start the encoding.
Do you know why I have to wait so much during the importation ?
Those are 2 or 3 go MTS video files.
Can't find a better way to do it.
Thank you very much !

Hi,

Sorry your h,264 trancode is slower than expected. I know ways to speed up Compressor, but not MPEG Streamclip.
Do you have friends who have more powerful CPU's and could give you access to their machines? For example, there is a huge difference between the processing power of a hyper threaded Core i7 and a Core 2 Duo. Other than getting upgrading your hardware, I can't think of what could improve processing times. Streamclip really is pretty fast – even if it seems not to be. (Very surprised you find it slower than QT Pro.)
Good luck.

ITunes Home Share file transfer occasionally very slow

Hello... I just wanted to ask a question about a situation that occasionally occurs with my iTunes Home Sharing. Sometimes, the transfer of files from my Windows to my Mac is extremely slow. It does eventually finish successfully but this only happens once in a while, as the transfer process is usually a breeze. I wanted to know if when the connection isn't as strong and the transfer is slow, do my files get in any way damaged or incorrectly transferred? Like, bitwise? (is data lost or missed etc...). I know that moving digital media around can be a bit sketchy sometimes.
Thanks.

is there a way to find out why "a file is in use" / what process is using it, and kill that process?
Yes. Launch the Terminal utility and enter this command:
sudo lsof | grep "sometext"
That character after "lsof" is a "vertical bar", which should be on the far right of the row with "P". The first character of "lsof" is a lower-case letter "L". The text "sometext" should be replaced with at least part of the name of the file that seems to be locked. The quotes aren't necessary unless there's a space (or one of a few other odd characters) in the text you put in the command. After you type the text, press <return>. You'll be prompted for your administrative password.
If the culprit turns out to be Finder, try clicking on the Finder icon on the Dock while you hold down an "option" key, then choose "Relaunch".
how can I find out if some process is accessing the Time Capsule hard drive, keeping it busy and making the transfers slow?
That's a little harder. You could launch Activity Monitor and click on the "Network" tab in the lower part of the window. I'd also check the quality of the signal to the Time Capsule
If you have an Apple AirPort base station, I'd use the advice in this thread to investigate the signal and noise levels that each Mac sees, as described in this thread:

My simple file is uploading very slow.. help please..

i have a SWF file - 220KB
and the motions are simple too.
whay the browser loading it so slow?!? (5-10 sec.)
(i checked on 7 computers)
is anyone can check the FLA file please?
it's very important..
TNX

What does that have to do with uploading a file? If you are talking about downloading to one's browser to be viewed, if I look at the page you identified the Flash content loads almost immediately, even before the background image. Chances are it is a service issue at your end as it has nothing to do with the Flash file.

Time Capsule wifi file transfer is very slow

File transfer to and from Time Capsule over wifi is way too slow. I'm trying to transfer a 8 gb file and it says will last over a day to do it! I restart the time capsule several times and I see no improvement.
I have a 2 GB Time capsule model BCGA1302 running 7.6.3 firmware. My wireless network is set to 802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n (automatic) and I have a Macbook Pro Retina mid 2013.

I am having issues interpreting the screenshots.. but the name on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz is the same. Lothlorien
The 5ghz is added by the TC itself.. so it is not a different name.
The speed on 2.4ghz is 54Mbps and it is using channel 1
The speed on 5ghz is 27Mbps on channel 157
I am not sure what the % values mean.
But I do know that if this is one wall then the wall must be made out of stone or wet bricks.. or some very solid material .. because that is terrible.
Put the TC in the same room as the computer or move the computer to the same room as the TC.. do you get better speeds now??
The final conclusion is.. use ethernet.. again as I say.. wireless is not suitable for backup if you cannot get decent link speeds.. internet is probably fine at 54Mbps .. that should give real world transfer speed of around 22Mbps which is as fast as adsl at least can go.

"Save As" and "Open" file dialog windows very slow to appear...

I have a home network with 4 PCs, three using XP/3 and 1 using Win7. Until recently, I had the three XP boxes in one workgroup (not homegroup) and the Win7 box in a different workgroup. Everything was running fine. I got anal and decided
to rename some of the boxes and put them all in one workgroup, the one that the Win7 box is in.
Immediately after I did all that, I noticed that every time I did a "save as" file function on the Win7 box, no matter the application, the dialog window took much longer to appear - sometimes almost 10 seconds. This is not the case on the XP
boxes.
Following a suggestion I got on the Microsoft Answers Forum, I removed all the shares on my network and even removed the 3 XP boxes from the network, and I turned off Network Discovery. The problem persisted. Only when I disabled my LAN
connection did the dialog windows appear instantly, as they had done before. I have now restored the original configuration, but the "save as" dialog window continues to come up very slowly on the Win7 box.
Any thoughts, clues or suggestions as to how to fix this non-critical but very irritating problem would be greatly appreciated...

I've hit a similar problem since (or at least exaserbated since) changing to a new ISP service (BT Total Broadband) which included a wifi router upgrade. LAN has a stable Win XP SP3 fully updated, a W7 also fully updated (I love Office) and a previously
stable Zyxel router. Then this occasional problem: File -> Save As from any application stops dead for up to a few minutes, no CPU burn so waiting on interupt or external event. Patience, then it works.
So I'm guessing a confused IP table somewhere. I'm off to play with using fixed IP addresses and lease expiries in the LAN part of the new router's config to see if that makes it easier for XP to handle closed connections.
And isn't there a "not persistent" option somewhere ...
But I don't networked drives, I use shortcuts with network addresses.
More anon after some exploration.

I want to load large raw XML file in firefox and parse by DOM. But, for large XML file the firefox very slow some time crashed . Is there any option to increase DOM handling memory in Firefox

Actually i am using an off-line form to load very large XML file and using firefox to load that form. But, its taking more time to load and some time the browser crashed. through DOM parsing this XML file to my form. Is there any option to increase DOM handler size in firefox

Thank you for your suggestion. I have a question,
though. If I use a relational database and try to
access it for EACH and EVERY click the user makes,
wouldn't that take much time to populate the page with
data?
Isn't XML store more efficient here? Please reply me.You have the choice of reading a small number of records (10 children per element?) from a database, or parsing multiple megabytes. Reading 10 records from a database should take maybe 100 milliseconds (1/10 of a second). I have written a web application that reads several hundred records and returns them with acceptable response time, and I am no expert. To parse an XML file of many megabytes... you have already tried this, so you know how long it takes, right? If you haven't tried it then you should. It's possible to waste a lot of time considering alternatives -- the term is "analysis paralysis". Speculating on how fast something might be doesn't get you very far.

Converting a large word file to pdf - very slow

I have a 150 page word document that I'm trying to turn into a pdf and it is taking over an hour. What is normal time? Any way to speed it up?

In SharePoint 2010 (not in Foundation) you can use word automation services application to convert doc files to pdf. It allows conversion from all word versions (starting from 97). There is a great article on this feature here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff742315.aspx I'll just provide a short snippet of word to pdf conversion:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.Office.Word.Server.Conversions;
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
string siteUrl = "http://localhost";
// If you manually installed Word automation services, then replace the name
// in the following line with the name that you assigned to the service when
// you installed it.
string wordAutomationServiceName = "Word Automation Services";
using (SPSite spSite = new SPSite(siteUrl))
ConversionJob job = new ConversionJob(wordAutomationServiceName);
job.UserToken = spSite.UserToken;
job.Settings.UpdateFields = true;
job.Settings.OutputFormat = SaveFormat.PDF;
job.AddFile(siteUrl + "/Shared%20Documents/Test.docx",
siteUrl + "/Shared%20Documents/Test.pdf");
job.Start();
If you are using SharePoint Foundation 2010, you should consider using some 3rd part library like
Aspose or
SyncFusion

Is the file recorded at the same sample rate at your Logic project? (Usually 44,1 Khz)

File search is very slow in iTunes

I have a MacMini 2.3 GHz, quad-core i7 processor with 16 gigabytes of memory using an Apple 1 terabyte hybrid hard drive. I also have it connected to a 1.5 terabyte secondary back up drive.
My problem is when I do a file search for tunes in my library in iTunes, the first two letters come up and then the round searching indicator comes on for maybe up to 30 seconds before it finds matches with just the first two letters. Any additional letters added to the search takes up even more time. It's as if the files are not indexed or something. It is completely annoying. When I search for music files in Finder, it finds them instantly with each stroke of the keyboard.
Has anyone else had this problem and solved it?
Thanks,
Mike.McW

Further update....
If I just start to type in, Claire, ical stalls as soon as the c is typed and no further letters appear whilst the spinning beach ball happens.
However, if I paste the word claire into the search box the search is almost instantaneous and complete for all of the calendars
It is almost as if the search takes the first letter and gets confused trying to find every word with a c
I have Typeit4me which I have now disabled with no change
I also have BusySync which is turned off and has been for some time.
Any ideas anyone?
Please

File transfer very slow with a SSTP VPN

I have a serer in the office and I connect from my house through a SSTP VPN. In my home computer (client) I add a new network folder, this networkf folder is in the server, that has a shared folder. I can transfer files, but is very slow.
For example, to transfer a folder that contain about 20 files, and in total are 11MB, it takes about 3 minutes. The server has a upload bandwidth of 890kbps. With teamviewer VPN takes about 1minute with 55 seconds.
The problema with the SSTP is that the transfer speed is not stable, bteween 0-200kbps. The problema is that when has to transfer a file, always the same, the speed drop to 0bytes/s and in this state is about 1-15 seconds and continue the transfer. Why?
So the total time at the end it's much more than the time that I need if the connection was stable and used all the bandwith. How I say, teamviewer VPN takes about 1:55 inteado of the 3:00 of SSTP.
Thank so much.

Hi ComptonAlvaro,
Please check if we have other program is connecting the Internet when we use the SSTP.
Additionally, we could contact the ISP to check the stability of network.
Regarding the slow SSTP performance issue, we could refer to the following thread similar to this issue.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8e8e4220-af25-4627-bed2-47db8c04d318/sstp-and-slow-transfer?forum=winserverNIS
Please take the following steps to fix this issue:
1. Add new registry key and value “ TcpAckFrequency=1 ” for all NICs on VPN server, so that we can reduce ACK delay.
2. Disable Windows 2008 SNP feature, and restart VPN server
3. Disable TCP Checksum offloading on VPN server
Hope it will be helpful.
