Recently I’ve noticed it takes a long time for NLP to open when selected from the Plug-in Extras menu.
The files I’m trying to open are already converted, and are 18MP DNG files from a Canon 700d (about 26MB).
When you click on NLP from the dropdown, a dialogue box pops up instantly and only for a split second, then there is about a 5 second delay before the full plug-in dialogue appears.
Just tested this and the behaviour is the same with 1, 5, or 36 files. The gap between the first loading dialogue and the main dialogue is approximately 5 seconds, though the loading dialogue stays up for a little longer with more files selected.
My computer was at about 50% RAM usage while running the tests, though I guess I don’t know how much Lightroom/NLP allows itself to use.
Sorry to tag you in an old thread, I’m afraid I’m here to plead for help on this issue!
Since I made this thread I have hopped around on many lightroom versions, reset all preference, created new catalogues, updated graphics drivers, nothing helps! I really have no idea what changed that has caused this bug.
I have a project that I shot in February that I really want to work on, but I’ve been putting it off due to how much the delay to open the dialogue slows down the creative flow.
I understand how challenging NLP must be to develop, so I am sorry to pester you on this one issue.
