I am wondering if I need to manage my documents differently. I currently have over 1,000 documents of 15 different types (sermon, visual filter, passage list, etc.). I have a new MacBook Pro M1 with 32GB of RAM, but it takes 25 seconds to load the documents. If I want to modify a visual filter, for example, I have to wait for everything to load. Doing a search on the list takes 25 seconds each time. The list does not stay in memory. I think the online database is accessed each time. Do I need to change a setting?
- I'm not aware of any setting that would affect this. And I'm surprised to see the poor performance you are experiencing - I have an older Intel-based MacBook Pro with just 16GB of memory and my list of documents (more than 1,500) populates in under five seconds. Do you get the same level of performance if you run Logos offline?
- I just posted my observation on how the documents are set up in the first place. It seems from the ground it, it was not engineered with larger document lists in mind. This seems interesting in that the highest price Logos sets costs about as much as a new car, so I'd think someone willing to spend that much money, at minimum, would probably have more than 10 or 20 documents they're working with and a M1 with 32 GB of ram would be more than enough. In general, it's a really bad idea to only make available a flat folder structure, any time the possibility of multiple documents on multiple topics, with multiple document types is involved. The fact that it takes so long to load seems to reveal that it really wasn't designed to handle or optimize a document list of that size. Which for a modern computer, is a really, really short list that should take far less than a second to get through a list of 1000 files that are simply being listed, not loaded. But I do not want to digress too far away from the point. I agree that it would be great of the team would consider this point for optimization.
