Re: [Avid-L2] The very slow close

Slightly related, I think, is the time for MC to quit and relinquish RAM on a Mac. Looks to me like the 2020 Beta releases are much better than the 2019 releases. Its important because in a classroom situation, I have to ask 15 students to quit and log out before the next lot head into the room. Compare this to Resolve which quits in a snappy manner.

Actually, it wasn't the 34Mb bin I was closing, it was the 11Mb bin that took a 1/2 hour to close.

And back at it today.  boooorrrrrinnnnnngggggg.

Is there any way to turn background save off and have MC (2018.12.3) save like MC use to?  It's just such a brutal time waste to spend a 1/2 hour trying to close a 34Mb bin.

Eventually.  

It's been a problem for a while.  Ever since 'background' save got introduced.  The system gets stuck on 'making snapshot'.  I think it happens with it's trying to background save and I've made a change in the bin and go to save/close it.

There was a window open saying things like

Saving bin content to file….

Scanning dependent objects.

Saving backup to attic

And it was just taking forever.

Well did they close???  I'm on the edge of my seat.  Don't tell me there is now a pandemic of slow or none closing bins.
