Improved handling of catalogues (i.e. faster and less unresponsive) Merged

What problem do you see this solving?

Capture One becomes unresponsive in several situations, for instance:

* When searching/filtering

* When editing keywords

* Selecting folders/albums

* Switching between tool tabs

(Cf. ticket: #147215)

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

I'm affected by this more or less every time I use Capture One.

Current workaround

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?

As searching/filtering in Capture One is so slow, I usually use Peakto for searching, as it's faster to find an image in Peakto and then use Peakto's "Edit With Capture One" option to open it in Capture One.

    Even after splitting up my main catalogue into four different catalogues, Capture One still becomes unresponsive when searching, deleting/adding keywords, etc.

    I use Peakto all the time now. It works well for browsing and finding images. Its new Find Similar Images function (i.e. similar to the currently selected image) is very useful too. One thing that needs improvement, and I believe they're working on this, is that Capture One doesn't currently allow access to preview files, so images adjusted in Capture One will only be displayed in thumbnail size. I haven't yet used its metadata editing capabilities yet, as it would require synchronizing both ways, which I assume would only make Capture One's performance issues much worse.

    How satisfied are you with Peakto now? And the combined usage of Peakto and C1...

    It was shortly after I had opened Capture One; I hadn't done anything other than switch between tool tabs a couple of times.

    I just tried a few times again: opening Capture One, waiting for metadata to load in the Filters tool (just to make sure that that isn't what's causing the unresponsiveness), All Images selected in the Library, no images selected in the browser – when switching from the Library tab to the Adjust tab Capture One becomes unresponsive for 29-31 seconds every time; the same goes for switching back to the Library tab.

    The strange thing is that it doesn't always happen, sometimes there's no unresponsiveness when I switch between tool tabs, and sometimes, as in the video above, it's even worse.

    Wow, that's bad.

    What was the state of C1 before you switched the tool tab, had it loaded all images it wanted to load already or had there been some activity going on in the background?

    Capture One regularly becomes unresponsive when switching between tool tabs. Here's an example of one minute's unresponsiveness:

    A related issue is handling of referenced files – see this request as well as the comments: Relocate multiple images + show file paths for missing images.
