Roger Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Earlier today, I upgraded to Daminion v. 8.4 from v. 8.1. Since then, a process named 'Daminion.Media.Engine' has been using my CPU intensively. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted August 23, 2023 Report Share Posted August 23, 2023 Hi Roger, Yes, it is. It is the new Media Updater module that generates new thumbnails that are required for version 8.4. It is used intensively right after the upgrade to convert thumbnails to a new format and generate missing midsize and previews. Then it will practically go into a sleep mode, waking up only for importing and generating thumbs for the newly imported files.

Roger Posted August 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Hi Daria, Thank you for answering my question. After reading the 'Daminion 8.4 Migration' document that you mentioned in your reply, I have a couple of questions for which I would appreciate your input. My 'C' drive is a SSD drive. The thumbnails migration to a new format is causing it to fill up quite rapidly. I understand that the old 'dat' files will remain (in case I need to revert to a previous version of Daminion). If I do not plan to revert to a previous version of Daminion, is it safe to simply delete all 'dat' files from the 'C:\ProgramData\Daminion Software\Daminion Server\Thumbnails\NetCatalog' folder? Since both the server and client are now 64-bit applications, is it safe to delete manually the 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Daminion Software' folder from my 'C' drive?

Hello, I renamed the "old" folders e.g. to Daminion.sav. After some days without any problems I'll delete them. But you should not delete the folder "Daminion Web Client Assistant". Even if it's a 64bit app, it's installed in the "old 32bit folder". regards, Uwe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daria Kotilainen Posted August 24, 2023 Report Share Posted August 24, 2023 Hello Roger, No, please do not deleted all .dat files. Midsize and previews are still using .dat files for the web client, only thumbs will be in jpeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Posted September 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 This week, I have run a daily count of the 'jpg' and 'dat' files found in my 'C:\ProgramData\Daminion Software\Daminion Server\Thumbnails\NetCatalog.' Every count as found 109,270 files. Yet every day, some of these files appears to have work done on them by 'Daminion.Media.Engine'. As I am writing this post, 9,775 of them have a modified date set to September 15, 2023. Yet, I have not imported new files for the past three weeks. Is this a normal behavior?

Roger Posted September 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Earlier today, I installed v. 8.4.3214. This latest version does appear do have fixed the issue. Indeed, since I installed it, none of my 'dat' and 'jpg' files in my 'C:\ProgramData\Daminion Software\Daminion Server\Thumbnails\NetCatalog' folder have had their 'modified' date modified. Whereas whit v. 8.4.3200, I was still experiencing the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg.Ross Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 @RogerYes, you're right.I checked the version again, and indeed these fixes did not make it into the 8.4.0.3200 release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lintujuh Posted September 22, 2023 Report Share Posted September 22, 2023 Is the 3214 version available? I have had 3200 running for one month, and it is still consuming constantly ~10% of my CPU. I guess this is due to the same issue as @Roger has. -Juha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
