Copy speed

[neutrino1]

I used the search function in XnView to find all the images that had a string in the description. It found about 7,500 files. I selected all the files and told XnView to copy all of them to a directory on a different logical drive.

XnView did this VERY, VERY, VERY slowly. It took about one second per file which would not have been too bad if it had a Skip All button.

Is this a normal speed for XnView?

Is this a normal speed for XnView?

No, which OS? Your DB cache is big? Do you have description?

No, which OS?

Windows XP Home SP2

Your DB cache is big? Do you have description?

I do not know what you mean by DB cache. All the files have descriptions.

I do not know what you mean by DB cache. All the files have descriptions.

Option/Thumbnail/Cache
And description from descript.ion file?

Option/Thumbnail/Cache
And description from descript.ion file?

I did have the Option/Thumbnail/Cache turned on. There are four cache files. The largest one is 3,390,523 bytes.

The largest descript.ion files I have now is 187 K but it was probably at least 40 K smaller when I copied the files.

Your files are all in the same folder?
Could you try to copy but rename the descript.ion file before?

The files are in several different folders. That is why I used the Search function.

Is it safe to rename descript.ion files. I suppose I could rename all the description files but there are more than 140 of them. Only 17 of the description files are over 10 K in size and only three of them are over 100 K. Can I rename just the larger ones? If so, what size limit should I use?

Can I use the search function to find the files that have the description I want and then rename the description file? Obviously, if I rename the description file first, I will not be able to find the files.

It's a test to find where is the problem.
Is it possible to create a copy of you root folder, delete in it all descriptions, and try to make the copy by xnview? (i would like ot know if the problem is description)

I created a directory with 8,002 jpeg files without descriptions (1.1 GB) on my logical E: drive. I copied all the files to a directory on my logical D: drive. It took 16:22 with XnView.

I copied the files again with ACDSee 2.42 and it took 07:59. I realized that the difference might be because of the Windows cache so I copied the files again with XnView and it took 12:32 with XnView.

I created a directory with 8,194 jpeg files (3,243 with descriptions) (1.1 GB) on my logical E: drive. I copied all the files to a directory on my logical D: drive. This time I copied the files with ACDSee first. It took 08:29 with ACDSee.

I copied the files again with XnView and it took 46:15.

Ok, so the problem seems to be the description
Could you send me your email by PM, i would like to send you a test version?

[xnview]

Do you have received it?

[neutrino1]

Do you have received it?

I apologize for taking so long to respond. I have been more ill than usual.

Yes I received it and it is MUCH faster than the other version. I think it is about ten times as fast.

Do you want me to time it exactly?

No exact time is not needed. Thank you for testing and your reply!
