Several seconds to update metadata
Not sure this is a new bug or an issue with my catalogs or both, but after installing v13.5, LRC became very sluggish in several operations. Issues are not constant, they come and go every 5-10 minutes...I made a list:
- After editing a picture, it takes several seconds to update metadata
- When I am in develop module, I can not longer navigate to next or previous image using left or right arrows. I have to switch no library module to do that or click with the mouse in the desired image.
- Flagging or scoring images takes sometimes several seconds to show.
- Scores sometimes revert to previous score, seconds after changing the score.
- Sometimes a photo already edited, its thumbnail appears unedited for several seconds in library, then updates to edited.
- Metadata filters in Library take long to show values or filtered pictures.
- In Library, selecting light out to dim or off, sometimes does not work until entering develop module.
- Almost all operations related to updating metadata are slow.
- Both LRC and LR keep syncing all day long, non stop since a week ago.
- LRC takes about 30 seconds to close
This is what I already tried to fix the issues, nothing worked.
- Stopped syncing to cloud.
- Stopped write to XMP.
- Purged cache (100GB maximum size). This helped for 15 minutes then issues returned.
- Optimized catalog.
- Tried all combinations of the GPU usage.
- Reset preferences.
- Uninstall/Reinstall both LRC and LR Mobile/Desktop.
- Deleted and recreated all XMP files.
- Rebuild sync data.
- Using another catalog.
- Removed plugins
My machine is a Mac Studio M1 Max running on MacOs Sonoma 14.6.1, everything updated to latest version, 64GB of RAM, all files on SSDs (catalog on internal SSD and RAWs/cache on 2 external Samsung T7 SSDs directly plugged via USB-C to machine. All SSDs having more than 50% free space). Apple Studio Display. Catalog has 35K pictures, 800 albums, including mostly Fujifilm RAWs, JPG, HEIC and some TIFFs. I have 4 installed plugins, LR Mogrify 2, JPEGmini, LensTagger EXIF Tool and WP/LR Sync. These plugins have been installed since years ago but issues started just since the introduction of version 13.
Every new update makes things worse, not sure what else I can try. Any recommendations are welcome.
