Slow processing time

 

Hi,

What a nice peace of software. Great job Damon.
One of the first requirements for a photographer is the possibility to
reorganize his/her collections using this application.
I tried to run the software on my collection, around 14000 photos which
basically halt the application, and after a long time now it copies one
image per second.
There are times that you don't need thumbnail collection or GUI or progress
bar etc, and reorganizing a large collection is one of them.
I tried to use python and directly import some of the libraries to do the
job manually but lost in the code. Some hint from you might help me to
bypass GUI and talk directly to backed. (I mean by scripting in python).

another missed feature is using conditions for creating folders or renaming
files. for example to create folder "raw" if extension of the file name is
"raw" (inside current folder) and move all the raw images in that folder :

~/Picture/2008/08/file.name.jpg
~/Picture/2008/08/raw/file.name.raw

All in all a great application, professionally developed based on actual
photographers needs. well done.

Cheers,
James.
