Processes popping up and disappearing in the Dock
petekowalsky:
There seems to be an issue with the 23.0.13 where processes keep getting launched (or something), or the icon just keeps popping up and disappearing in the Dock. See images here at this link https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xtdpqcuehj635ep/AADePQST8vZRfZV8k9JA_IVFa?dl=0. Keeps thrashing CPU as well. Not sure what the cause is, but when it stops, MC 23 is extremely sluggish to respond, and generally I need to force close the app.
Any thoughts? Is there a newer build I can try?

Those processes being launched are probably reading video files. MC uses those extra processes to work on files as they are being imported.
I'm not sure, but it might do this also if it was rebuilding thumbnails for video files.
You should probably check your thumbnail status and then, at some point, tell it to build all missing thumbnails and wait for it to finish.

Good luck.
Brian.

In my experience every upgrade of MC does this for a few minutes on first launch. Usually doesn't last long but I think it is converting files from your old library with old metadata or something.

Thanks Brian - will check and run this overnight and see if it improves.
I'm getting LOTS of beachballing as well when opening up System Info... It indicated that I have no thumbnails built for the 180K items it said it needed them for. Not sure what it could indicate I need that many thumbnails for, as my only library that's imported has 39K files, and I've got MC23 set for "Audio Only Mode". I don't look at pictures or watch videos with MC23 ... just play hi-res audio.
Any other things I should check? Are there any diagnostic log bundles (MacOS system or MC23-specific) that are helpful for JRiver to use to debug performance issues?
