Beachball opening

Post by BulletHotelCharger9 »

19,1 iMac, 3.6 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, 64GB Ram, Sonoma 14.1.1, XnView 1.6.1

Why does it take many turns of the system beachball to open XnView. I have it set to open one folder of 2000 images. Does it need each time to open the application & cache the folder thumbnails? I use 64GB Ram. :x

if you open XnView in a empty folder, same delay?

I have switched the startup app opening targeted folder to a blank empty folder, then restarted my iMac. It's possible this action freed up cache that kept XnViewMP from opening immediately. Anyway, I switched the targeted opening folder from the empty folder to the image folder of 2000 images and it seems to open immediately now. That sounds like a cache issue. But I don't care w it opening immediately now. Thanks.
