Moving Pictures takes really long to start (1 Viewer)

Hi!

Moving Pictures takes really long to start when two of my clients are sharing the DB.

Checking for invalid file entries in the database takes about 30s but ONLY if two clients are online.

Well in version 0.8 that's coming in a few weeks, the missing file check is done in a background thread. Basically meaning it does not delay startup, it's performed in the background. So this should be less of a problem then. As for why it's slower when you have two instances connected to one database, I am not sure, but this is not really a stable setup and not supported. So it's not something we have tested for.
