CANON DIGITAL PROFESSIONAL 4.3.31 HOW TO
I tried it on an empty drive and it loaded quickly but it still goes out to the C drive to scan for files and cause slow downs while trying to use it.ĭoes anyone know how to turn off this scanning of all files on the drive and on the system drive behaviour. I've looked through documentation and registry and configuration files and I'm not finding anything to turn this off. With 2 and 3 terrabyte drives, that are at 80% used, this is a major slowdown of the program.
CANON DIGITAL PROFESSIONAL 4.3.31 ZIP FILE
Whenever it hits a large file like a 100 GB zip file it just goes off into limbo but smaller files slow it down by minutes. i think it is scanning the whole drive and opening all archives (zip files, pst files) including looking at my game directories and my programming directories and my backup directories trying to find image files !!! I ran microsofts ProcMon.exe (sysinternals) and found that the reason for the slow load and frequent freezing or slow performance is symptomatic to it scanning my whole drive and the C: drive and trying to open large files that it should not be opening.

I've run into the same problem with DPP 4.5.10 and DPP 4.5.20 where it loads very slowly and sometimes freezes (not responding) for a minute or more when working on photos. Most of my editing is done under Windows 8 and 8.1, and a small amount under Windows 7. IOW, the offline file caching does me very little good, and the OS seems powerless to assert its authority over the process. Also, if I'm editing offline files, it runs much slower if I'm in contact with the destination drive than if I'm not. Sometimes it will suddenly freeze for several minutes during an editing session, almost as though it were periodically recovering from a memory leak. What I have seen is that all releases of DPP4 have been much slower than any release of DPP3. I haven't seen that problem, but it's suggestive that the zip file was on the same drive as your pictures folder. Is this a bug in the startup process for DPP4? I can't think of any reason it should try to open the largest zip file in the root directory. Started DPP again and it worked fine and opened almost immediately. I moved this file to another drive and deleted it from D:\ The slowdown was due to DPP opening a large zip file I had in the root of my datadrive D:\ (6.5 GB of small source files), before it tried to load my pictures from the last directory opened D:\Pictures_all\2015\2015_08_22 I used Process Monitor (sysinternals from microsoft) and monitored the startup.
