This is a non-trivial issue. If you open any program with an enormous 
number of files, and you don't have enough RAM, your system will become 
unresponsive.  There may well be memory optimisations that can be made 
to the code, but that would be something for the future. Meanwhile, work 
on a subset of your  files, and not all of them at one time. In my case, 
when I'm in the field for some time and I have more than 30GB of RAW 
photos on one memory card, it's no problem for me to download them - but 
my laptop has 8GB of RAM.

Are these straight off the camera or has another program possibly 
manipulated the exif information?  Perhaps you can send to me off the 
list a sample NEF and JPEG. I can add them to my growing collection of 
sample files, some of which have all kinds of problems with the exif 
headers or are corrupted in some way.

I have just now corrected a bug in the Swedish translation - there was a 
character missing. I will upload the fix in a few hours, hopefully. 
Right now I am working on another bug.

Perhaps you might like to work on the Swedish translation? It has not 
been updated for more than one year.

Best,
Damon
