You're right, selecting any option other than artist as first sort I get almost instant page loading. Bit of a problem as that is the most logical way to browse the collection. -- Fleury Fleury's Profile:

Strangely, setting the thumbs to 50 took a full two minutes to load! With thumbs set to 300 pixels (closer to the average folder.jpg image size), it took a mere 40 seconds. As mentioned earlier artwork is pre-cached during a full rescan. If you change artwork size, the pre-cached files won't

Isn't artwork also post-cached, meaning you only have to scale it once? It is. But then you'd have to measure load time more than just once. I'm not sure the OP did so. Michael ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com

After a few hours of poking and prodding, SC 7.0 is playing nicely with my XP box, but one nagging problem removes some of fun from this otherwise HUGE step up in GUI. I like to browse by album art, sorted by artist/album. SC web gui always defaults to the home page - OK fine, I click albums and

Let me start by saying that what you are experiencing isn't at all normal. My album art loads up in less than a second. However, people will need a bit more info from you to work out what the problem might be. First, what OS are you running (XP, Mac, flavour of Linux)? How much RAM and memory

Album thumbnails are precached when you run a full clear/rescan. If you change the thumbnail size after the last full clear/scan then the new size won't be in the cache and will be generated at page generation time. Subsequent page requests will use the cached images. One thing that still
