Multi-threading please

Post by JorgD »

Hi there,

I am really happy with your product, but I have a computer with 6 cores (12 threads) and multiple Hard Disks. While I was trying to see which of my 600,000 photos were duplicated, I noticed that this would not be a quick task. I also noticed that the system seemed to only use 1 of the 12 threads and works on 1 HD at a time.

Would it be possible to code the application in such a way that more threads are utilised? Looking at the data size and time taken, the HD speed is not the limiting factor. It seems to be that a single thread is running at full speed. Even if we could speed the process up by just 1 order of magnitude, it would turn a 24 hour job into a 2.5 hour job.

Thank you for your consideration.

Jorg.
