Hello

I really love MC28 Looking forward for MC29

I was wondering if you could implement the image features better in mc29

I really like all the tagging ,sorting and filtering that i can do in mc28 video library , and really want it to be my photo management library.

Right now i can't use it effectively as the raw support and speed is not sufficient , also the viewing, zooming of pictures and moving from pic to other and back is not comfortable. even if i use the 2d viewer which is little better 'still lacking and opened like a video.

is there a chance to get better photo managing features and implementation in MC29?

Thanks

Loading and displaying an image shouldn't be slow.  It's about 1/2 a second on my laptop.

Raw images would be slower because of their size.   Take a look at options for images.

If you're loading from a network drive or a USB drive, try loading from a local drive.

Antivirus could also cause a delay.

Thanks for the answer

That's not all i meant , its not just that the raw loading is slow. my intention was not complaining about something that is not good , instead i asked if the whole image section can be developed little more like the video section is.

Mc is really powerfull tool and i use it all the time for all my media management, so i though about use it for my images as well.

Thanks

Well, a nice addition would be to have some kind of "Mosaic View" instead of the standard grid view. The grid view is fine, when everything has the same aspect ratio, like music album or TV show covers. However images and photos do usually not share the same aspect ratio. Some are portrait, some are landscape, some are long and thin and some are square.

What do i mean, when i say "Mosaic View"? Something like this. Just looks much better artistically.
Most implementations use fixed sized rows or columns or completely fixed pre-made grid layouts. However, I have seen at least one implementation that doesn't. By resizing, cropping and slightly reordering beautiful results can be achieved.


Another big problem with images and MC is the performance. You will notice a slowdown with 100k+ files in MC. With 1M+ files, MC becomes less and less usable. Just opening views might take seconds or even crash MC. Importing a single new file into such a library can easily take over 10 minutes.

I know this because i tried to use MC for such purposes. But I had to give up. However, i slowly begin to face the same problem with lots of small mp3 audiobook files.

really?

i didn't know of that issue , so you recommend not importing all of my pics? with all songs and movies will be way over 100,000
