Nothing changes in 3.23.42. BUT….

I tested now with PM not maximized on screen and sow some errors in Maxcript Listener. I´ll paste here:

1: SQLite error (5): database is locked in “SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type=’table’ AND name !=’sqlite_sequence’;”

2: SQLite notice (283): recovered 17 frames from WAL file C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMax\2022 – 64bit\ENU\scripts\Kstudio\ProjectManager_3\Settings\AssetSQLiteCache.db-wal

2: SQLite error (17): statement aborts at 213: [SELECT filedata.ID as Parent_FileID, GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT(directory.ID || ‘$’ || directorydata.Path)) as CategoryData,childFileData.ID as FileData_ThumbID, childFile.ID as ThumbnailI

I´ll download it now. My version is 3.23.40. Check Update direct from PM is: “You are using lastest Project Mananger version (3.23.40).” No update available

I´ll download it manually. Thanks

Hi.

I leave PM opened all day yesterday to process database. Nothing changes in terms of speed. I think my organization is not compatible with PM system. :(

Well, maybe reset or delete database to refresh all thumb and folder structure may work. I dont know how to do this properlly…

Meanwhile I tested another asset mananger (that I dont like so much as yours) to test speed. It´s work for see thumbnails and speed is fine, like browser. Works fine to see and navigate. But I noticed one difference: It needs to scan to match all .max files with related thumbnail. After scan, works fine. In help they explain: It needs to scan to link exactly to avoid speed flaws. (if you need, I post link)

Well, Im gonna wait for some sollution in future update. I dont have plans to explode my folders and join all max with thumbs. It wont work for me to organize in a batch.

Anyway, thanks for support and attention.

Cheers.

Hi Kramer,

Drive D is a local drive (8TB Seagate IronWolf). Exactly to avoid lan limitations. I have a little server and use Synctrazor to make it all synced (just backup) when I update something in my library.

• Yes. That a LOT of subdirectories. I already tried to make all assets in one folder, textures in another. But became a mess very fast. If I delete a .max file, I cant know what is the texture related. If I move some .max, I need to find textures… Well, I think this was the best solution for me so far. I agree this probably make it slow, but I cant found better solution yet.
• I just turn thumbnails on on last folder, before assets, with option “Show One Level” on, to avoid read many folders.

I updated to 3.23.40, “Allow” was already ticked. Do I need to click something? Like “Update cache” or cache directories? Or just leave it on?

One question: I just add my main folder do models tab. Do I need to convert to catalog? Leave it like directory or doen´t matter?

• I tried remove XYplorer and a bunch of softwares that Im not using anymore.
• Clean registry with CCleaner
• Update windows
• Restart
• Clean again, remove all programs from icon tray, restart process (windows update and CCleaner)

After all tests, PM still slow with mananging folders.

My guess: It´s trying to see thumbnail from a .max file that already has a JPG with same name. Is there a way to disable it? Always that a find a .max without thumb, I manually rename to match.

I tried to not pass 500 folders with assets in a single folder. Bu problem occurs with any amount of folders…

Is there some config in database, SQL or something that I cant understand to try?

I uploaded the video to a private link: https://youtu.be/wZtSh05gi4o

You´ll sse:

1. I mananged my folder in windows explorer (no thumbnails)
2. I mananged my folder in XYplorer (to see thumbnails)
3. I mananged folder in Kstudio. I removed last week other folders to fast up a little bit. Note how slow is to change folder.
4. I come back to XY and navigate to same folders to compare.

Sorry for no audio, my mic is unpluggled and english is not my native language.

[Theo De Carvalho Barbosa]

I cant remember. Its been a while. Should I test uninstall XYplorer to test? Is there something that I can disable to fix?

[Theo De Carvalho Barbosa]

I checked it. Cant found it. (windows 11)

[Theo De Carvalho Barbosa]

Yes, in explorer its all fine. Actually, I have XYplorer to see thumbnails too. Windows explorer and XYplorer its all fine, the same.

Should I record the video and post here or in “Support request”?

Thanks

Hi, I´m having same trouble, but with a message a little different:

— Runtime error: .NET runtime exception: Illegal characters in path.

What can I do?

Thanks.

 

[Theo De Carvalho Barbosa]

Thanks. I´ll try. It works in batch? It´s thousands assets.

Hello,

Is there a way to ignore extension of the texture? Example: I converted several heavy TIF textures to JPEG. It would be nice if there is a option to ignore extension and replace in material. Thanks.

[Theo De Carvalho Barbosa]

Thanks, this will help a lot.

Ok, I´m finding and renaming thumbs files. It´s a very manual process, but it´s pontual.

But, in project mananger, is there a way to show only files that don´t have thumbs associated?

I just need to see what I need to work on and avoid keep scroll for hundreds of files to find this ones.
