Is there any performance benefit in placing the LR Catalogue on an SSD

I currently have the LR Catalogue [16 Gb] on a WD Black HDD and read/write is OK but would there be any benefit in using an SSD?
My DNGs are stored on an HDD and I doubt any significant improvements would be noticed there [plus SSD's don't have the capacity yet].
Any thoughts/experiences please ?

Lightroom is pretty quick off the mark in terms of its read/write capability but it definitely does get slower [on HDD] when you've amassed 10K or more catalogued items.
Completely untrue, and if you believe this, it will cause you to do very unnecessary and harmful things to your catalog. People in this and other forum report catalogs of over a quarter of a million images running well. I myself have much fewer images, but still 25,000 images, without catalog slowness.
If you are experiencing slowness, it is almost definitely not due to the number of images; and you might want to describe in more detail what part(s) of Lightroom are slow, so that a better diagnosis and solution can be found.

    Return policy may be different from Apple's vs Best Buy. Regardless of crowds, only buy from Apple. Dealing with Best Buy in the future, if there's a problem it may not be worth what you believe to be a $40 savings.

    I forgot my restriction number! Is there any possibility to get in the program?

    Hey rashad35,
    Thanks for the question. Unfortunately, if you have forgotten the restrictions passcode on your device, you’ll need to restore it to factory settings:
    Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

    Are there any performance concerns when referencing an image located in a central location (example application server)?

    I just installed it on mine last night and noticed that the fans basically don't stop running when I have any programs running...Pretty disappointed in that, but hoping something will make it go away.

  • Is there any way to swap out the 'Widget Note' icon or have it triggered?

    Hi,
    Is there any way to swap out the 'Widget Note' icon?
    Not only is it bad artwork, I have a cool custom button that I wanted to bring up the Note widget. Also, when I put the Note Widget on top of my custom button, it blocks the button's glow for the mouse over state, wven when I choose the option of making the widget transparent.
    Any way my custom button could trigger the Widget Note to launch?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    cheers

    Hi digitalnoob
    To use your custom icon image instead of default Note icon, you would have placed your image on top of the "transparent" widget.
    To make these objects available on click of some button:
    Group these two objects.
    Make this group invisible in output.
    Add the button which should trigger this widget.
    On the button, set the action to Show this group.
    To hide this group on 2nd click you need to use some advanced action and variables. Else, you can have a different button to hide this group.

  • I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog.  Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
    DVI
    Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
    Analogue
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)

  • Is there any tool to check whether the proper data is inserting or not?

    Hi,
    We have different products A,B and C.
    whenever user crates an account under these products some X,Y,Z table gets updated.
    If user1 creates an account under A then X, Y, Z tables update with some data along with some ID
    If user2 creates an account under A then X, Y, Z tables update with SAME DATA along with some other ID
    Is there any tool to check whether the proper data is inserting (same data is inserting every time) or not?
    p.s : if this thread is not related to this forum .. where can I post?
    Thanks,
    Praveen

    Is there any tool to check whether the proper data is inserting (same data is inserting every time) or not?You need to check the code to see that. Is the update or insert on the table has from different places? In that case it would be better to have them moved to a centralized place may be a package.
    If you want to restrict the columns to specific values then you can use constraints.

    The phone will automatically re-appear when it connects to the Internet. However, don't get your hopes up, as thieves know this & will make sure your phone never re-connects so you can locate it.

  • When sharing screen from work with my home computer, is there any way to turn off the display at home?

    Hi, sorry if this is a silly question, but when I'm viewing my desktop on the home computer from work (as in I've connected by finding my computer in the finder and hit the "Share Screen" button - is there any way to turn off the display at home? It seems a bit of a waste of power to have the screen on when I'm not actually there - I just need to be able to see all my programs etc on the remote screen in order to use them. My home computer is a 2011 iMac running latest Mountain Lion, work is a 2010 MacBook Pro.
    Thanks in advance!
    Matt

    I've set up another user on my home Mac and left that one logged in. Now when I connect from work it asks me if I want to share the screen or log on virtually as my user. I think choosing the second option doesn't power up the screen.

  • Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way".  I HATE this!

    Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to.  But NO!  Pages keeps changing the font size!  I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size!  I am getting SO FRUSTRATED!  I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter!  Can anyone help?

    The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
    You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
    Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

  • I deleted emails from VIPs and didn't realise they would be deleted from my Mailbox. VIPs does't appear in Mail on Time Machine. Is there any way I can restore the deleted emails?

    I deleted emails from VIPs in Apple Mail and didn't realise they would be deleted from my Mailbox. I have tried to restore from Time Machine but VIPs doesn't appear. Is there any way I can retrieve the deleted emails? I also have bachups on an external hard drive.
    I have OS X 10.9.2

    You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com.  If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it.  (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
    If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
    In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album.  Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored.  Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another.  Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

  • Is there any way to hook into the SQL report pagination process?

    I have a SQL report (based on EMP) with a radiogroup row selector.
    The scenario 1 and 2 are in place
    1) When the employee row radio group is clicked the P900007_JOB the text item is populated with the JOB for the employee.
    2) When the page is initially displayed or submitted via the button the first row’s radio group is programmatically clicked and therefore populates the additional job information in P900007_JOB
    Info (radio Group) Employee No Name
    (+) 7369 SMITH
    () 7499 ALLEN
    () 7521 WARD
    P900007_JOB CLERK
    1-3 Next>
    Once the report has been displayed and the next or previous pagination is used then none of the radio groups will be selected and the data in the P900007_JOB text item will still display the job of the last selected employee row.
    What I require is on pagination some sort of mechanism to either
    a) Call the page_init() that should then set the first row as selected and populate the text item via the programmatic click. (preferred option)
    b) OR blank out the additional text item P900007_JOB.
    Is there any way to hook into the pagination process?
    I have a work around – Set the ‘Enable Partial Page Refresh’ to ‘No’ but this means a full refresh every time the pagination is used.

    Columns – All columns are selected as show but job is left out of the template below.
    P900007_JOB - Text item in report region (disabled does not save state). Populated with the employees job when the radio group is clicked.
    Control region :- HTML region that just holds a button <GO> just to submit the page and redirect back to the same page.

    Anybody any ideas? Should I be looking down the route of using my own pagination buttons and adding my code to this?
    There seems to be a routine $a_report that I can use for the pagination but I am finding it difficult to get the current first and last record values that I would need to pass. I've seen references to below in the form but when I'm using partial refresh they do not seem to change.

  • Is there any way to edit all the transitions in a project at the same time?

    I chose "insert with transition" when adding clips to my timeline, but the default is set for one second, which is longer than I'd like. I know how to change the duration of each transition one at a time, but is there any way to select all the transitions (there's about 90 of them) and adjust the duration for all of them at the same time?
    That's my main question, but I also would like to change the default cross-dissolve transition to be 15 frames instead of 30 for future projects. Anybody know if I can do that? I know I can create a 15 frame cross-dissolve and make it a "favorite", but it seems it would just be easier to change the default one instead.
    Thanks,
    Stephanie
