Good day, knowledgeable people,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to have a look at my Lightroom Classic (LRC) delay problem !
When using LRC on my PC with LRC catalog on system drive, and original photos reachable via a network connected server (NAS), I have no problematic delays when using LRC, all functions respond subsecond.
The ten to 45s LRC delays occur when the NAS is continuously unreachable (such as NAS powered off), but the PC is connected to the internet.
(Note: the Library module's "Folders" sidebar updates immediately when the NAS becomes continuously unreachable by the green light and NAS path/folder turning black)
The LRC delays occur in Library and Develop modules in a few situations:
(Note: Windows Error Reporting shows no errors when any of the delays described below occur)
1. If LRC is running, and I switch to any other app outside of LRC, and then return to LRC, there is a 10 to 45s delay within LRC, and LRC shows "Not Responding" in the title bar.
2. LRC in Library mode: Occassionally when cycling through images in this mode at any speed.
3. LRC in Develop mode: Occassionally when cycling through images in this mode at any speed.
