Daminion getting very slow

[SergeS]

I have recently observed situation when Daminion gets to work very slow, I would actually say - extremely slow, screen update takes minutes. It has never happened before, but during last month I have observer this problem already multiple times. It happened not all the time, seems like problem appears when I do some search, especially using Saved Search. Seems like it never happens when I do just tag assignments. When it happens - it actually slows down not only Daminion, but the whole computer becomes very slow. Have performed Catalog -> Optimize from Daminion menu, seems like it was not helpful.

My configuration:
I am a private user (Home Server License, one concurrent user), using Daminion for 10 years, since 2015
I am active photographer hobbyist, my family members are also hobbyists-photographers, so my catalog is kind of big 🙂 - 370K+ photos.
But I am the only one who is tagging photos, so I am the only one user of Daminion. I keep all photos on the Synology NAS, Daminion is on my computer so, Daminion is accessing photos over the network (wired gigabit). My computer is under Windows 11 Pro, 32GB RAM, 4TB SSD drive. Network works good enough, no problem with other applications. Daminion version is 7.8.0 (build 2900), have updated the license in 2021. Yes, I know, version is old, but I am ok with set of features of this version. And maintenance period is, of course, expired, so I have no free updates anymore 😞. 

Are there any suggestions, recommendations?

Hi Serge, 

 

Please open Task Manager and see if there are any background resource consuming apps that are running when you perform the described actions in Daminion? 

Anything that has been installed over the last few months? Adobe Apps, new Antivirus?
