Ingest List - what is it?

Post by RickHeath »

Every time I launch PS6 (currently on v 6.4.3923) I get "Ingest List" for 20 to 30 seconds at the bottom left of the program window & PS isn't keen on doing anything until that has finished.

What is it & why is it doing/ looking for something? Can I stop it doing whatever it is doing? It doesn't seem to be doing anything useful in my setup.

Probably you're starting PSU with one or more custom command line parameters. PSU checks if it needs to import some folder or file that is passed on the command line.

Hhhhm...
I have been using these startup parameters forever:
"C:\Program Files\IDimager Products\Photo Supreme x64\IDimagerSU.exe" -regdb "C:\PSU Catalog\PSU.idreg" -A "C:\PSU Catalog"
I never noticed that "Ingest List" popup before.
One thing:
Is it possible that process would interfere with the database compacting?
Every startup, I now get a "compact your database" message, if I click OK, the program hangs. If I wait until the "Ingest List" has finished, then click OK, the compacting starts, but then stalls. I can manually compact the database, but next time I restart, I get that same message "compact your database" again...
Not sure, what is going on.
