Hit [tab] and look at the CPU-utilization. Once that gets down to zero (0) it means gpuViewer is done indexing the new collection. If you don't see any thumbs then quit and restart gpuViewer - this fixed the problem for me. check that there's a "index.vg" file in the root of the directory where you started browsing. There should be enough space for this file to be created @Kashif Riaz

(maybe because of a firewall / proxy??) This is reproducable - it happens each time i run the config survey and hit the "OK" button just kill the process and then start gpuViwer manually as you would normally the first time it might show a corrupted screen - dont let that bother you, select file->open catalog and you're in business hope this helps / costa i had the 100% as well on 2 machines - it is caused by the config-survey trying to send its results back to the server.

I am still not sure what can cause this, but as for the crash case, I'm preparing to put out a version that should help identifying what exactly is happening.

Does it have to be installed as admin? I was excited by the product, however it goes into an infinite loop and eats 100% CPU on launch - this is on two differently configured machines.

I'd like to make a suggestion for an alternate method of sorting/viewing pictures. The calendar view works well, but I have thousands of photos without EXIF data. If you could use the calendar interface to display pictures in folders with or without EXIF data that would be great! Like instead of the top level being years of photos, have each folder represented. Then zooming in on each folder, instead of individual months and days we see increasing depth of subfolders.

When restarting, gpuViewer skips over the files already indexed and committed, hence it crashes earlier... I hope to find a way to identify which files aren't understood soon, and once I can see the files, should find a way to make them not crash. Ahhh, if only it would crash on one of muy machines !!!

Very handy to look for a mass of photo in harddisk!! However, it crashed and now everytime I open gpuviewer there is a "buffer overrun" message and it closes itself after the message. Any idea to solve this problem? Great tool!! Very handy to look for a mass of photo in harddisk!!
