Thank you and everyone for your suggestions. Having spend the best part of the day running tests with a stopwatch, I now believe that there may not be one silver bullet but that behavior seems equally aggravated by the drives themselves. The time to fetch the directory info, in my testing so far, varies from a minimum of 1:45 minutes when only one drive is attached, no matter which drive, to 8:21 minutes when 5 external drives are attached. Though I did not find a linear relation between the number of attached drives and the times. If I am re-saving a file that originated from a large drive, heavy with data, I get the longest times. Seems obvious, yet it is still true, that my control tests with PS showed no delay at all under any of the various circumstances. So I am learning what not to do. 1:45 minutes still seems pretty long, though, compared to less than a second with PS. All my devices seem to be in working order. Should probably review drivers for different models. For the moment, will develop work flows that avoid Save As. -- tastethewine (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
