FYI, Large Catalogs in Capture One 11 has been much improved. Please try it if you haven't yet.
My own catalog of 20,000 images opens considerably faster, and the ALL IMAGES collection is also much snappier.
Thanks for replying, David. I did just install C1-11, and unfortunately it's still quite bad in regards to the continuing re-ordering.. As in, switching back and forth between the 'all images' and a smart collection that filters on 'keyword - doesn't contain - Testing'. It will
look like it does it quickly, but go down further in the filmstrip-equivalent and things will still be shifting and re-ordering for quite a while.
But the worst part is the keywords that 'transferred' over via DNG-embeds (yes, that word that shall not be spoken here
) - they're a mess. And I wouldn't want to have to redo them all.
But perhaps Bob could still try it if he uses native raw with sidecars.. Maybe that will work better for that situation. After all, C1 has a consistent history of kicking and screaming against DNG. It still refuses to even recognize DNG's made from LR-merges, even though ON1 already does if I'm not mistaken. ACDSee doesn't, last I checked, but I
think it was ON1 that did recognize those.
I
do want all these programs to get closer to LR.. I despise the software-as-a-service mindset that is unfortunately taking over the corporate world. But unfortunately nothing comes close just yet - ON1's DAM features still seem quite primitive as of now.
