iView crashing with many actions

[horanphoto]

This is my first post on this forum. Thus far I have been able to have most of my questions answered by just reading the problems & solutions  everyone else has had and an had answered. What a great resource this form has been, thank you all!  I don't know why but my iView program has just recently gone crazy; it now is shutting down whenever I look for duplicate files, sync annotations, look for missing files or when trying to fill a term with images. I am working on system Mac OS X version 10.4.11 with 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The catalog I'm working on is only 378.5 mg at the moment so it's not that big? Any insite anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Eric

Eric,
Nice to see you here - sorry to hear about the problem. (ANd nice to see you at SB2).

Do other catalogs crash the program?  Does this catalog crash the program on other's machines?

You might try to drag the items to a new catalog and see if that fixes the problem (try to crash the program after).

Next thing to try is to make a new user and work from that.  If that does not crash the program, then you have some kind of bad preference or cache file in your users folder.

Peter,

Before I got your reply I had time to do a process of elimination by trying to relocate the images several at a time instead of all at once. I  found the problem is with two files out of the 900+ in the set. Now the problem is how do I find out what is wrong with them that they are causing the program to crash even if I just try to select them. I was going to delete them from the catalog then go to the archive and see what's different about them (I did and they are DNG's like all others made from the same camera body). I thought maybe they were unusually large scans, so now it's a mystery?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

Eric
