Description Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2008-08-10 17:59:29 UTC 
Hey,

I've just switched from a desktop workstation (7400rpm) to a laptop (5200rpm), and the performance difference is huge.

Now displaying the thumbnails of my photos take a very long time, if I switched in a random date.

I don't have numbers, but it seems to be very noticable.

Regards

the issue is probably that you "just switched" and it takes some time to generate the thumbs on first sight.

Please "Edit>Regenerate Thumbnails" once, and check if it's still as slow...

If you're running svn (as reported), please run up-to-date svn, as I pushed a patch to reduce IO on thumb loading a month ago

additional note: I never ran f-spot on anything but laptops...
Comment 3 Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2008-08-12 11:17:07 UTC 
I did regenerate the thumbnails, some appears immediatly, but it seems most are regenerated again...

Stephane, where can I start to debug?
no sensible output is displayed on console.

Thanks
Comment 4 Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2008-08-12 11:23:29 UTC 
my version is 0.4.4
Comment 5 Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2008-09-14 08:23:51 UTC 
the problem is really the thumbnails are regenerated continously.
it seems to be related to the new gnome-setting-daemon
Comment 7 Stephane Delcroix 2008-09-15 08:27:13 UTC 
Baptiste, what are your settings for g-s-d ?

bump the settings

that's the better thing we can do without disabling the housekeeping plugin :/
