Andrei - I have been running the external-stored images and no thumbnails since I started. I have my DB file local and I am using a new HP Laptop with WinXP. I have a collection of 35,000 CDs and 5,000 LPs. I have nearly 10,000 items entered and the application is so slow that is naerly unusable. Generally this is when I click the "Preview and And..." button or "Properties" on an album because I want to change the Location value or something else.

I am a SQL DB programmer by profession, so I don't think even this number of albums extended by the number of tracks should be problematic for a sound DB solution.

What can be done to improve performance in my situation. I am expecting too much from OrangeCD to be responsive repository for a collection of my size?
