I'm using an nVidia GeForce 9600M with 2 gig of onboard RAM, and the drivers were updated last week.
Sorry to say it's not my system, it's PD. It has failed to import now on 18 of 20 occasions when I pick large folders.
It clearly can't handle more than a few hundred at a time.
Whilst I have my complaints with Lightroom being slow, it doesn't crash. Neither does Zoner, Capture One, Paintshop Pro or Bibble.
Why it crashes when saving PD I have no idea, and clearly neither does Cyberlink or Pix would have given us an idea. No offence Pix, but the only suggestion you've really offered is a reboot and a reinstall. That to me isn't tech support, my sister could have suggested that. In my experience it crashes when trying to import anything over 1,000 images. As an aside to that, please don't tell me there is no problem in importing...there isn't for you, but there is for me.
I've uninstalled it now anyway, it's clearly an immature product not ready for professionals to use.
However I do like it's ease of use, and variety of tools so here's three suggestions.
Don't rely on importing as Lightroom does, you're asking for trouble and importing and collating a database is really unnecessary. Look at Zoner, one of many tools that doesn't import, you simply work from the existing folder structure. Much more reliable and takes a huge problem away instantly.
The second suggestion is collate some data as to why things go wrong. Again, nothing against you Pix you do your job, but clearly you've been given no info to do that job with, so the forum is less useful than it could be. We need at least some support info passed to you so problems can be looked at and resolved, instead of suggesting "when you get it behaving itself", or at best, one of the software authors to come in and offer support.
The final suggestion is get keywords showing. Every program I use sees my embedded keywords and other meta-data, except PD. Even a Wordpress plugin I use can read them, yet PD can't. I seriously am not going to re-do keywords and all other meta data on 45,000 files! It also makes me wonder, what other problems are there that I haven't discovered yet? Keywords or meta-data, should be one of the first things I see along with my image.
If it was reliable, I really like it and I would buy it instantly, so I'll keep an eye on it to see if it develops. Good luck everyone.
