Re: [darktable-user] import process / workflow
This should have been sent to the list...(not to a personal email) To the best of my knowledge DT does not work with .psd (Photoshop). It works with RAW files. You may have more success with GIMP as a closer counterpart of Photoshop.

To put it simply it just won't import them! And yest I did save my .psd's for all versions. Do you know who I can contact or if this is a system problem? Sincerely, Bilie Glaser p.s.

Re: [darktable-user] import process / workflow
smb is slow and you have quite a large collection being imported. I would *guess* that dt has not had time to generate the previews yet. perhaps a better plan would have been to download the images to the smb drive or via nfs/sshfs first and then to import to dt. but that would probably still have been much slower than a local drive. I had considerable issues with DT files stored on USB connected to a router (make believe server) and shared using SMB (took forever to import and work). Oddly enough - if I am to copy the images back and forth using Nautilus or command line - it would work much faster. Few months ago I changed the firmware to an open source one and gained access to NFS shares on the router. Since then - the speed have increased significantly. I mean specifically when DT r/w from the router. Few days ago I copied more than 10k directly to the USB (connected to the router and shared over NFS). I am currently working out of it directly - on a 8 year old laptop and the speed is okay. I mean - the bottle neck is not any more the router. If you are on synology - you *should* be able to have NFS share. For me - the experience with DT reading images over NFS is much better comparing to the one over SMB. You may be able to improve r/w performance on SMB with forcing different mounting options like smb version but none of it was very reliable for me.

I would *guess* that dt has not had time to generate the previews yet. perhaps a better plan would have been to download the images to the smb drive or via nfs/sshfs first and then to import to dt. but that would probably still have been much slower than a local drive. also possible to download to a local drive, import into dt and then move the images to the remote drive and reimport. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.orgopenSUSE Community Memberfacebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
