Darktable 1.4.2, 1.6.9, 2.0.7, and 2.2.4, on Fedora, CentOS, and OS X. There is something seriously wrong with Darktable's tagging module.
As I have used successive versions of Darktable with databases containing an increasing number of tags, the tagging module has gradually become so slow in its operation as to be essentially unusable. For example, recently, on a database containing ~2500 tags, I attempted to attach a single tag to ~250 images. This operation took approximately three minutes, during which time Darktable was unresponsive and consistently used about 100% of two cores. By way of comparison, I accessed a copy of the database file directly and used an INSERT INTO command to apply the same tag to the same images. This took about 20ms. Since actually attaching the tag is clearly not taking six minutes of processor time, what else is the tagging module doing that could possibly be causing these delays (and, what is more to the point, how do I work around it so I can actually use the thing again)? -- August Schwerdfeger aug...@schwerdfeger.name ___________________________________________________________________________ darktable developer mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-dev+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
