Slow program start
« on: November 19, 2015, 12:00:49 pm »

Hangs on boot up with white screen.  After 20-30 minutes it finally launches but jumping around from playlist to finder paths cause it to hang again.  It was working fine for the last few weeks (library has about 667,000 files in it) but has developed this problem.  

Restored from a previously saved library before the issue with same results.

Is there a way to rebuild the database or other idea without wiping out everything?

Currently we restored a 21 library into MC20.  Every header says it was "translated" inside the program.  Is there a way to remove that?

Thanks

Try turning off auto import.

To be clear, you're talking about launching MC.  Not booting the Mac itself right?

Jeez, that's a crazy long time...

I don't understand "jumping around" and "finder paths".  Just regular browsing in different views?  Something else?

Does MC20 perform at a normal speed, or is it really slow also?

Again, I'm not following what you're describing.

Jim's suggestion is a good one.  But something seems very much not right here.
