Only import files which don't already exist in a database?

I don’t see any particular issue with that approach.

If you force quit DEVONthink, no it shouldn’t try to continue Indexing on relaunch.

Hmmm…I’ve force quit it twice, but both times indexing resumes:

And yes, each time I verified it really did quit…

At this point, I’ve moved the directory it’s trying to index. That’s generating errors, but it seems to be speeding up the process. I hope it will finish trying to index soon so that I can have DT back

Fortunately, moving the directory it was indexing significantly sped things up. I’m back in business.

Glad to hear it.

@d1rewolf

@cgrunenberg since it’s freezing, albeit under slightly different circumstances, I sent you the sample. Please let me know if you have any ideas what to do, or if restoring from time machine is my only path forward.

Did you send it directly to me as suggested or to our support address?

[d1rewolf]

@cgrunenberg No. Apologies for the confusion. See the quote below…just when I was preparing to send, it came back and was responsive. Thanks for following up!

@d1rewolf

Actually, as soon as I was pressing send, DT came back reporting inconsistencies in the database. So, no sample sent, but now it continues to index. Indexing makes the app very slow to respond Any suggestions? If I close the database and restore from backup, will it still try to index?
