Hi there,
I am using XnView MP 0.94 beta 3.
My catalog size has 700,000+ tagged images.
I am noticing a delay of around ~5-8 seconds after I select about 10-20 images (first left-click on one, then shift+left click to select set) and apply category on them using sidebar. After I categorise them, I scroll down in my folder and left-click on the next starting set to catagorise, but then XnView MP freezes, for about 5-8 seconds. I'm guessing it is updating the catalog .db on my previous set. Then after the wait, it unfreezes.
This is making cataloging/categorising a bit frustrating, and not as fun any more.
Any tips to remove or reduce the delay?
I have tried increasing RAM in my laptop to 32 GB, unfortunately my catalog .db and thumbnails database is on the same drive, but is still an SSD. I have also tried setting "memory usage for database engine" to 10000MiB
Also, I do not use IPTC or XMP import/export options. No XMP sidecar either. Just internal XnView MP .db category name and star ratings, sometimes the circle labels too.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you,

What settings do you use in "Intergration paths" ?
I'm using "program(xnview)", so I can install a second XnViewMP for tests, in a place like C:\test
Take care of your xnview.db file (first, copy it for a backup)
I suggest export "file's categories" from your main xnviewmp installation ... and import this xml file in the test install, maybe starting with an empty thumbnail cache, it will run faster ?
Here you can also use "settings, catalog, optimize" and try some options...

so category is only written in catalog, right? do you have a lot of categories?

Sometimes, when I quickly unmark/mark categories, the task can be uncompletely done.
I have to slow down when changing state twice for the same selection.
(not tested since V0.89)
This happened when I used the categories panel to update categories in photos, where some of which had missing keywords.
