(Archived) Beta 2.0: "Generating thumbnail images" runs forever

[BMWTwisty 0]

Hi,

I searched the forum and found an old version of this problem but no current solution. I installed the Mac 2.0b1 beta last night and the problem started then. The thumbnails generated until this morning when the count was over 180,000 when I quit the application. I restarted at work and the same thing has happened. It's been running for 4 hours and I'm up to 88,000 thumbnails and counting. I have only 280 notes in my file and they're mostly just text and clippings - nothing really complicated.

Running OS X 10.6.5 on a 2008 MacBook

EDIT: I checked a bit after the previous post and Evernote was opening in Mixed view. I switched to Thumbnail View and the thumbnail target value was in line with my content and the thumbnails were generated appropriately within a minute or so. I then switched back to Mixed View - the icons were displayed correctly at that point. I then quit the application and reopened - still in Mixed view - and everything appeared normally.

So the program appears to be working correctly at this point. I'll continue to experiment.

Had no issues with generating thumbnails. Took just a couple of minutes with approx. 2500 notes on my Mac Pro.

BMWTwisty - thank you for the report can you please look at help- Activity log and see if you see any issues in the log for thumbnails?

Had the same problem - I left it running for 24 hours and it was around 980,000 and still going! I then changed to Thumbnail view, quit the app, restarted, and it worked fine, indexed 134 images and done!
