Speed up catalog loading

What problem do you see this solving?

Hello, In order to speed up the loading of the catalog allow you to turn off folders. Allow them to be present in the catalog but not scanned when opening Capture One. Let them be indicated offline.Sincerely,

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

Always

    369260519517 It wasn't from me. I don't remember seeing that particular video.

    One thing that can take a while here, when opening a catalogue, is for the data in the Filters tool to appear.

    I remember having seen a short video from a fellow forum member, maybe it was from 370131390338 but I am not sure about that,  where the folder tree in the library tool has been showing up very slowly (the tree grew faster than a real oak but certainly too slow for a folder tree in a catalog software).

    368602113258, Can you give some numbers, e.g. how many folders/subfolders, and most importantly how long (in seconds) does it actually take until you can start working?

    Thank you for your help. No, I can't work until the scan is complete. Like you, I have a hierarchy by year and I work with the current year (that's why I proposed to put off the other years). I have SSDs in-house, and 105,000 photos.

    You don't have to wait for that scan to finish do you?  Can't you just start working right away?

    Also, I'm not seeing any delay on my folder tree when loading.  My folder hierarchy is by year and I typically only have one year expanded at a time.  Perhaps that makes a difference?  What kind of drive are your photos located on?  Is it an external drive or some kind of drive that might have to power up and spin up?

    When you say very large catalog, how many total images?  How many directories?

    Hello, I mean that when booting, folders appear in the tree view as you go indicating whether they are online or not. That's why I imagine Capture One checks if the photos are online or not. On a very large catalog, this makes it very long to get started. .

    What do you think is being scanned when just opening the catalog?  Are you implying that every directory that is represented in the catalog is being read just to open the catalog?  If that's what you think, what observations make you think this is happening?
