RAW (Pentax) preview slow
Posted: Fri Nov 27, 2009 9:11 pm
Hi
XnView-1.96.5 full
WinXP SP3
1.6GHz 1 core
768MB RAM
1- When opening my Pentax k10d RAW files (extension: pef) either fullscreen or in the viewer, the file opens very slowly, about 2-4 seconds. I set everything related to RAW files I could find to use the embedded JPG thumbnail, so showing it should be 'instant'. No need for demosaicing.
2- What's more, I enabled caching the next/previous image. Lets call the current image A and the next image B. If I switch to B right after opening A, I have to wait those 2-4 seconds. If I wait those 2-4 seconds after opening A before opening B, and only then open B, then B loads instantly.
3- Now regardless of 2, going from B to A should be instant. It isn't. 2-4 seconds, always, regardless how long I wait.
Any ideas or advice? Is opening RAW (PEF) files using the embedded JPG 'instantly' possible?
