I am running DT 4.4.0 on Windows 10.
Everything works nicely up till about 20 drawn paths, which seems fair - and that’s not the problem.
But when such ‘heavy’ files (DNG i this case) are referred from the Metadata editor, even placing the cursor in the first field begins to accelerate the CPU as if all the editing has to be re-written. The italicized ‘wait while I am working’ field names stay italic for several seconds while the CPU is busy. Trying to write the first sentence makes it even worse - the ‘Darktable doesn’t respond’ text is shown in a bleached screen. Everything seems to be challenged to the limit, and neither my pc or the GPU is slow.
Shouldn’t it be possible to add meta text without DT rewriting everything, e.g. until the Apply button is pressed?
By now I suspect this to be caused by my backup holding files when Darktable needs them … or it’s something else. Apparently nobody has had the same experience with files containing heavily masking?
Do you have One Drive or something similar running?
Sorry for the delay. A number has haunted me for days ;O)
Thanks for asking, but no One Drive or anything of the kind is in use. But I am sure the problem comes into existence when I edit module-loaded images while the backup is running in the background. As far as I can evaluate it helps to stop the backup during editing and vice versa. The reason for being in doubt is that some images with a lot of modules involved reacts more or less reluctant from time to time anyway, and I am not quite sure why.
