LR1 slow to display clear thumbnails in grid view

I'm still using LR1 (1.4.1)
My setup:
-quadcore Intel, @2.8 Ghz
-Vista x64 SP1
-8GB ram
-LR install on OS disk
-system page file, and LR catalog and previews installed on a raid0 (stripe) pair of disks
-Photos themselves on yet another disk
-All disks are SATA2
-Selected all photos in the catalog, and saved metadata
-The write xmp on change flag is unchecked
-I optimized my catalog
-I removed the previews directory, selected all photos in the catalog (16K) and did a generate 1:1 preview (2048 pixel, high quality, never delete them), and I also did a generate standard previews as well.
-I turned off Vista indexing of the previews directory and the photos directory
-I don't have a dedicated Virus scanner running
Work flow:
I chose a day's worth of photos from the navigator on the left, and set a keyword in the keyword "spraycan". I start scrolling (with the mouse wheel) down through the grid.
Issue:
right off the bat it takes about 2 seconds or so for the thumbnails to become clear - they start off quite pixelated. I start "spraying" photos with my keyword. I scroll down to the next page full of thumbnails. It takes another 2 sometimes a bit more seconds before I can see what's in the thumbnails (until they sharpen). It doesn't sound like a big deal, but when I have a lot of keywords to add, I really want to be able to scan quickly through the patch of photos and quickly tag them. That 2 seconds each time I scroll really starts to drag.
I with that LR would be able to in the backround sharpen the thumbnails in the Grid, so that when I scroll they are ready for me. Or perhaps I'm missing something with my optimization or configuration?
Thanks for listening,
Damon

iTunes will need to load all of your artwork when using cover flow and grid view. There IS a cache folder in the Album Artwork folder of iTunes, but i don't know how effective that is.
However, if you are running a version earlier than 9.2, iTunes 9.2 runs cover flow and grid view A LOT faster than previous versions, since what it does is create thumbnail versions of your images for those views only, making those views operate a heck of a lot quicker.
I know 9.2 still has some bugs and some people may advise against it, but if you really want to see a boost of performance with grid view I'd recommend updating if you haven't already. Besides, for any bugs there, Apple will probably release fixes for them shortly.

Slow-to-load album covers in Grid View

I've encountered a problem for a while that I thought I might bring up...
Whenever I start iTunes, it defaults to Grid View, the only view I use when browsing iTunes. Now, I'm unsure if iTunes caches album art or not, but every time I boot it up and scroll down, all of my albums appear artless for half a second before slowly applying the album art. This makes scrolling down incredibly slow and clunky.
Once I fully scroll down, I can scroll smoothly all I want, but if I close iTunes, everything is clunky again. Any tips? Does iTunes not cache album art?

Can't drag & drop thumbnails in grid view

Version 1.2: While in Grid view, I am unable to drag and drop thumbnails to manually sort. I am grabbing from the center of the thumbnail and the thumbnail turns to the dotted rectangle. However, when I drag, nothing happens.
Has anybody encountered this?
Thank you.

Shut off include photos from subitems.
This exact question was answered yesterday.

How can I see the metadata in the grid view?

I am in View/Metadata Display/Customize and trying to set it so in the Grid view [which I take to mean the browser in grid style as opposed to list] and trying to have below each image the - Rating, version name, caption and keywords. I check my List and there are entries in all of those four categories. I checked the Grid View Expanded and all four are listed under Display Order. Adn Show Metadata below image is checked. But when I set it all up, only the Rating and Version name shows up no Caption and no Keywords tho there are entries in both and both are included in the list of the Grid Expanded View.
Any suggestions? I have unchecked and cleared out all those and reentered and reset them up and that hasn't worked.

Do they show up if you make the thumbnails in Grid View larger?
I'm pretty sure Metadata Overlays for Grid View and Viewer are limited to one line for Badges & Ratings & Color Labels, and one line for all other metadata (in both the Browser and the Viewer). Put your most needed metadata field first in the list. I often need to see Keywords, and I often need to see the timestamp, and I often keep my Images in grid view small -- so I've set up Grid View Basic to start with the timestamp, and Grid View Expanded to start with Keywords.
Of course, that won't be useful if enlarging your thumbnails in Grid View doesn't show the missing metadata.
"Show below Image" forces the line with the Badges, etc., to go below the Image. If unchecked, this top line of the Metadata Overlay is superimposed on the bottom of the Image.

ITunes 9 Grid view header disabled by default

Ok, the subject is pretty clear. In Grid view the so-called header - the pane on top where the Albums-Artists-Genres-Composers buttons are, and also the scroll box is - is disabled in default view for every playlist, including main library. One needs to turn it on for each playlist manually. Or maybe I just don't know something?

THANK YOU!
I was having the same issue. I have always used the top columns (in descending order to reduce my options) to sort through my library and was desperately searching for column view controls. I was already considering reinstalling the old Itunes.
In Itunes 8 I remember that the column view was turned off and on with Ctrl + B. That still works but I hadnt figured out how to control it untill I found your post.
Lots of thanks.

How to get data from live site using C# on grid view

Metadata informations in grid view

I would like to get better readable metadata information on the frames of the thumbnails in grid view and if possible in the extended version also on the bottom part of the frame. The light gray in the second line has too low contrast.
In German version (or you cuold do this for general) there should be a possibility to shorten the information for a + or - exposure correction in e.g. +1EV or - 0.5EV, because now it take to much space and therefore it is not readable. This information is very important for HDR and therefore it would be great if you could optimize the design.

This forum is primarily focused on the new features and bugs in the beta release, so it'll be closed when the beta finishes. The best place to get your requests considered is the Feature Request forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family because others can also add their votes so Adobe can see which requests are most popular, and the requests can be easily tracked. They stand a much better chance of getting attention there too.

My new tab page displays only an empty grid. Missing thumbnails -and- sites. I -think- my settings are correct. Please advise.

What are the settings for clearing history when Firefox closes?
Make sure that you do not clear the Browsing Cache as that will remove the thumbnails that are stored in it.

Lightroom 4.4: Only 3 thumbnails will display at a time in both Grid view and the Film Strip

Hi. I have Lightroom 4.4. and Windows 7--both of which have been working fine for several months. Starting a few days ago, however, thumbnails have refused to load for any NEW photos I import. They appear gray/blank in both Grid view and the film strip. However, if you click on any of the film strip thumbnails (while in either Grid view or Develop mode), that thumbnail and corresponding image WILL load--until up to three have done so. Then they begin disappearing again, allowing you to view no more than three images' thumbnails at any one time.
I can't review a shoot via Grid mode this way. I'm also afraid to use Lightroom while it's misbehaving, for fear of corrupting the catalog somehow (though all the images appear to be there). Searching this forum, I found several people who experienced having all of their thumbnails blank out and who were able to correct this by either reinstalling or removing their color profiling software. However, 1) I did this (and it didn't work), and 2) it isn't that all my thumbnails that have disappeared. All the thumbnails and images imported prior to the bug, still initially display correctly.* And I can get three thumbnails of the newer images to appear at a time.
*The asterisk is because after I poked around some more, I realized that if I opened other folders and began post-processing images from older uploads (vs. just viewing them), the thumbnails that initially displayed correctly everywhere also blank out and begin appearing in this up-to-three-at-a-time fashion.
Help, please?
With many thanks,
Rita

Alas, it didn't work. I did it twice--the second time rebooting the computer before starting Lightroom. I didn't expect the reboot to make a difference, but I did discover something else in the process: the second time I tried this, I accidentally opened a different catalog--and new photos imported just FINE into that one, thumbnails and all! For one moment I thought the reboot HAD made the difference. However, when I reopened the catalog I actually wanted, the original problem remained. Thumbnails don't load with import, and, when forced, only display up to three at a time.
So the problem seems specific to this catalog.
And yes--thank you for affirming that reinstalling Lightroom wouldn't work, either. (I forgot to mention that's what I had tried first. It didn't help--but it's nice to know it wasn't supposed to.)
Thank you so much for your reply. Do you have any other ideas, please?
With many thanks, truly,
Rita

Bug: thumbnails not displaying on library grid view

Since using v1.0 the thumbnails will not display on the grid view (there is simply a grid of empty grey squares which can be clicked on). All beta versions worked fine. I started a new library with no improvement. All other screens work as expected. Using Windows XP SP2. Any ideas?

joel, I'm experiencing the same issue - the thumbnails start to appear but once they get to the point where they would be fully loaded, they disappear. I used beta as well, and that worked perfectly fine. Just sent in a ticket to the customer support at adobe, hopefully they can help with a solution. I'm only running the trial version of lightroom.
Where you able to figure out a solution?

Bridge CS3 not displaying .PNG thumbnails

This behavior started about 2 months ago and I cannot figure what changed or what to do to get rid of the generic .PNG icons and get back to the image thumbnails. It's not isolated to Photoshop generated .PNG's. Any app I have that can save in the .PNG format will appear as a generic icon in Bridge CS3.
.PNG's that were uploaded to our server prior to around mid-Feruary all have the proper thumbnails. Currently, replacing them or uploading the same file from before February produces the generic icon. Same thing in both in the main view and the Preview window.
The only thing that has changed on my machine between now and February was an OS bump from 10.6.1 to 10.6.3.
Every other format displays correct thumbnails. I've tried just about every suggestion dealing with missing thumbnails from the various "no thumbnail" posts in this forum...and still no luck. Does anyone have a suggestion or two...or three, that might help me clear this .PNG problem up? It's driving me bats trying to identify images.

I've tried just about every suggestion dealing with missing thumbnails from
the various "no thumbnail" posts in this forum...and still no luck.
Could you specify on that, meaning also purge cache for selection. Using
tool menu-cache, use the filter menu to select only PNG files for faster
approach.
And you may not like this but using a more then 3 year old app on a new
(intel based and 64 bit OS system) might also not be the best route. CS5 is
just out now and rebuild for 64 bit systems like Snow Leopard is.
Also keep in mind CS6 will be your last option to upgrade according to the
Adobe upgrade policy, after this you will need a new full license.

Grid view slow to scroll

My preference is to view my albums by grid view.
However, I'm getting frustrated that when I scroll there is a short wait while it loads up the next lot of album cover art. The bit I don't understand is why it doesn't do this in the background ahead of time in the knowledge that when I'm in grid view I'm very likely to be scrolling and therefore it should load all the album artwork into memory.
Currently, i tend to force the complete scroll before I search, just so it is all loaded up and then I can smoothly scroll while I'm perusing my music.
Is there a way I can force this caching? I have boat loads of memory (3GB) most of which is free at anyone time. I also tend to leave iTunes on all the time so it would be better if iTunes could hold all this in memory.
Any suggestions gratefully received!

I'm having exactly the same problem. I can't find a hidden preference to cache the thumbnails of album covers, and consequently, in grid view, the overall effect is slow and amateurish.

Thumbnails not visible in Library Grid View

In LR 1.0 on Mac OS X, after converting from Beta 4.1, my thumbnail images are not visible in the Library Grid View, except for just a brief moment when I first click on a Folder (Shoot) name. The images then disappear, leaving just the background.
Double clicking on an image background brings up the image correctly in Loupe View.
Did I miss something in the conversion?
Many thanks!
(Mac OS X 10.4.8, Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, 6.5 RAM)

Hello,
I have a similar problem, (windows xp)
Besides the thumbnails not being visible, when I open LR 1.0, it shows my folder structure as imported, with the number of files per folder, but right after that, the folder names start to gray out, and the number of pictures in each folder goes to "0" . The pictures are still there.
For each keyword it shows 0 pictures, until I click on that keyword, then it shows the number of pictures for that keyword.
I did uninstall 4.1, and deleted the database, I don't know if this is related to some left over Beta 4.1 somewhere in there.( my old identity plate still shows) I had no issues, other than being slow when using beta 4.1, I had only imported pictures on a as needed basis( in 4.1), and not the whole folder structure. ( as I want to do with LR 1.0 )
Any solutions ? ( other than uninstall and trying to to a better job of cleaning up, before re installing ? )
P.S. about 1000 files ( jpg,tiff,psd) did not get imported due to errors, but most of them were in my 4.1 library with no problems.
P.S 2 the keywords were entered either in bridge or ID imager, and written back to the files, I never used beta 4.1 to enter keywords, just used it to search them.
P.S 3 ( sorry this is getting too long...) it crashed on import 5 times, about 20,000 files, internal HD just for pics.
thank you,
Fabio Ventura

This is a silly question, but I cannot fix it! The icons that appear on my photos after I edit them, have gone away. The only way I can see them is in the Grid view. How can I get the icons back on the thumbnail photos of the full gallery that is loaded?

You have likely dragged the size of the filmstrip thumbnails to a small size that prevents Lightroom from displaying the badges. Using your mouse, mouse over the top line of the filmstrip and then drag it supports to increase the size.
