Hi Peter, I did not try dt 3.4 because it is not yet available in the repositories of my distro.
This is my hardware: - CompactFlash SanDisk Extreme 60 MB/s - Lexar USB 3.0 card reader - StarTech USB 3.0 ExpressCard - Pentium P6000 @ 1.87 GHz dual core - 8 GB RAM DDR3 - SSD drive It is an ancient VAIO laptop I have upgraded. Not an i7 processor of course. I tried to increase (512 MB -> 2048 MB) for the thumbnails cache and the nimber of threads (1 -> 2) without any noticeable effect on the thumbnails display in the import dialog. No other setting seemed appropriate. The import dialog in darktable needs ~18 s to display the 133 thumbnails although Dolphin needs only 2-3 s. So I guess the hardware is not the most critical point, dont't you?
