Photo Supreme

The real problem is the need of more than double of database while compacting.

And the real real problem is the lack of knowledge in database programming as there is obviously no optimisation during runtime.

Sad news for you, Link648099, you chose one of the poorest projects available. Run as ...

Thanks everyone for their ideas/input/feedback.

If I want to start or end PSU, it should happen “now” and not after a long time

To clarify: of course I do not want this to happen when PSU starts. I mentioned in my original post that I would like to be able to schedule a task like compacting and ...

Not sure what people here think about an idea I just had.
Some routine tasks in PSu can take quite a lot of time, for example, compacting the database, backup, verifying folders and files and then importing new ones.
I'd like to run such tasks at the end of the day and when successful have the ...

I can confirm that this works perfectly here. No issues whatsoever.
Is it possible that you are trying to select images for which thumbs haven't been built?
Without the thumbnails the program indeed behaves rather sluggish.
Looking at most of your recent posts, I believe many of the glitches you ...

Personally I never quite liked Capture One, but I do use DxO PhotoLab a lot and it works well with PSU.
But I am still on PhotoLab 5, because I am not too keen on getting any database set up that I don't need. No idea, why all the raw editors these days seem to think they need to include a database ...

As I wrote the other day, Photo Supreme is not exactly the pinnacle of application development. Rather, it's a dismal, dismal lowland when you consider that the software is several years old and not an open source project that volunteers develop in their spare time.

If you find it so dismal, why ...

I'll upgrade because I want to support the development of PS but I'm a little underwhelmed by the new features. It seems the last 2 versions really haven't added much that I use regularly. Improved performance is always nice but I was hoping for more.

Hi Wesstl,
rather than complaining that there ...

I guess the problem here might be this:
We all expect that a catalog can be re-created from the XMP metadata and that is how PSu advertises itself. But what happens if a catalog gets corrupted? Reading what Alain and Fabrizio experienced got me thinking...

In theory re-creating the catalog from XMP ...

Hi Michael,

false impression - PSU is not the only program that knows and deals with both versions and stacks.

OK - say, I have no idea of any other program that does...

Maybe try merge instead?
Right-click on the label, select "merge"...

Hi gcorbin,
I think it would be useful to have the option now in hidden in Preferences available directly from the menu bar, analogous to what is now possible in stacks.

Still, I think this doesn't quite address the differences between "stacks" and "versions".
Versions are (and always have been ...

Filter settings are a possibility. But then I would have to change the filter with every folder.

Hhhmm - I can see that this may be problematic in your current workflow. But I can also see, why it must be really difficult for Hert to accommodate everyone here. Different workflows and personal ...

Yes, I do :D. Just think of the same picture processed in color and B/W. Both not necessarily have to be rated the same stars. And color labels can be used in such a different & flexible manner, that this also easily can "fall apart" in version sets...

Alright, I was actually curious about this ...

Imaging you have a version set with two images, one has a 2 star rating, and one has a 3 star rating.
When you select Ratings -> 2 Stars then you want to see the 2 star image
When you select Ratings -> 3 Stars then you want to see the 3 star image and not some main version that may have a deviating ...

However, I have also version sets with jpg files developed from the same raw file in different ways. For these sets I would appreciate the possibility to turn on visibility of differently developed versions in all modes. A possible solution would be to define visibility of particular version ...
