[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1802299, member: 396914"] Thanks, Bob, it's nice to know I'm not the only one with this problem. The post in that thread that really got me chuckling was the Apple fanboy who claimed that having to wait 6 months for the scan was not a bug because the person who complained had a "dream" about how it should work. Frankly, other products can scan faces much faster, so it must be something in the way Apple implemented it. Reminds me of a story from a couple of decades ago. We started a process to add some names into a database and after running 24 hours it had processed 10 names out of the 100,000 needing to be added to the 800,000 already in the database. We contacted the developers and asked if they had tested the routine with a live load. Yes, they said, they had tested by entering 3 names into a database with 10 names and it completed in 7 minutes. Not a very realistic test. My programmer spent a weekend and rewrote the routine himself to complete the job in 3 minutes. Strangely, the company was not interested in the "fix" as they insisted there was no "bug" to be fixed! I do have video files, not many, but some, and the "live" photos all create a video file for the few seconds they run. That may be contributing to the creakiness, but the bottom line is that Photos has simply stopped processing files, at least according to Activity Monitor. There is slow and then there is stopped. Right now, it's stopped. [/QUOTE]
