Slow image import

roland joseph

Did you try drag and drop from explorer into SU?

Rich actually tipped me off as well (thanks rich)...so there is some experience with this behavior...(dumb user behavior)

I take it that no one knows why file/import/ has stopped working for us?

This is odd... I have experienced exactly the same issue, beginning in the past 48hrs, with painfully slow import/export in su8 and 14... Really strange... Hopefully someone can enlighten us?

You asked this question and then disappeared?

There are lots on Google hits on issues with Win 7, Logitech mouse etc, messing up drag-and-drop.

Have you tired the old Right-click+Esc key?

Right-click on a file and hold the mouse button down.
While the the mouse is still pressed hit the Esc key.

Is the drag+drop functionality restored?

What more is there to say
Drag-and-drop for Images works well for most users.
The ones who now report they can't do it have other computer-related issues ?
I don't know why image-import is slow for some users.
It is fine for me.
I am not Trimble tech-support - but a ~~moan~~ bug-report to them might also help you get resolution ?

Thanks TIG, I'm on Win 7 also but with a Fujitsu mouse which I do have issues with the driver dropping out sometimes. I will do a bug report.

nickchun

Hmmm... now I am having trouble exporting images too. Colours are all washed out. All drivers up to date. Have reported to Trimble, will update if I hear back

Careful...you could get "dragged and drop-kicked" in here if you don't look out.
