Hi,

Thanks for the stress testing, I am missing this kind of feedback from users.

There is no limit on the mdb file(at least not at this scale) and the cache limit on the version you have is 100,000 images(there is no good explanation why I chose 100,000, just a bad decision) but the next version (1.24 next beta) will set the limit to 1,000,000).

I've tried importing last night (you reely challenged me  so I had to duplicate my collection) and I've successfully imported 33747 images (no failures). (this is maybe due to fixes done in this area but I'm not sure.

Are you importing form a local disk or a network drive?

I will put the new Beta (A lot of changes including a new Personal web interface) in a couple of days, and maybe then you can give it another shot.

Thank you & Regards,

Asaf.

Hm. Strange -- beta 1.24.3541, import via drag & drop. Using exactly the same file structure. Again 12925 files imported --> think this means it stopped on the same file and couldn't continue.

Log file (BTW, log file time values has nothing in common with system time.. Guess that's why I thought "nothing is there" for the first time):

Found the file where import stopped. Nothing strange there -- scanned as jpg, RGB 8 bit mode; 556 KB.

Tried to append it as single file to those 12925 files -- no errors, file got imported.

Deleted all 12926 files. Tried to import all the directory with that "strange" file -- no errors, everything got imported.
