![]() ![]() Australia’s internet speed is notoriously slow. This might just be a problem in Australia. I’m not scared of the cloud and I store all my edited photos there, but with Australia’s slow internet speed, I can’t justify it when raw files are around 20-30mb each. I prefer Lightroom Classic because I don’t have to rely on the cloud to store my photos. Lightroom CC is the cloud-based version of new Lightroom. What’s the difference between Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic? Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom integrate with each other, so you can export images to Photoshop and return them to Lightroom without exporting and importing. Both programs have evolved significantly, but are still very familiar to each other. The interface was very similar to Adobe Photoshop, and still is. I prefer to use Adobe Lightroom because it borrows from Adobe Photoshop, and I had previous experience with Photoshop. Both image editing programs do the same work, just operate slightly differently. It’s almost like a Nintendo VS Sega debate. Capture One Pro is used by many professional photographers, too. There are other options for image editing, like Capture One Pro. If there’s one program that I need to do my work, and to do it well, it’s Lightroom. I absolutely love it for a heap of different reasons. I am fairly outspoken when it comes to Lightroom being the only tool you need for image editing. At the end of the Lightroom trial period, you can sign up to either the photography plan or the entire Creative Cloud membership plan. You’ll receive all of the latest updates to Adobe Lightroom within the Lightroom trial period. While your privacy is at risk, if your harddrive corrupts, you will lose all your photos. Your computer’s health is most important because many cracks are packed with viruses, spyware, keyloggers and malware. I would not recommend doing that, or risking your computer’s health by using a crack to reset your Lightroom free trial period. This involves extending the trial period and resetting the date you started the trial. There are cracks out there that promise to get you a full version of Adobe Lightroom for free. You can only start the trial once on each Adobe Creative Cloud account. The trial period for Adobe Lightroom is 30 days once you’ve activated it. The best part? No credit card required! About the Lightroom trial period Adobe software can be pretty expensive, but with the trial version of Lightroom, you will be able to test the program on the newest Lightroom version on a free cloud membership plan. ![]() ![]() Whereas some other programs (like Adobe Photoshop Lightroom) lets you download free try all of its features. Yes! Sometimes programs offer free versions that are limited on features. Has anyone dealt with Leica 'customer care' or is it just pointless at this stage? It just doesn't make sense why I am being refused a product that I was supposedly entitled to even though that same product currently exists and is readily downloadable.Is it true? Can you get a free Lightroom trial? If you obtained the license number recently, matlep, then the Leica rep's statement clearly doesn't correlate. With regards to the last sentence above, obviously, I would presume that an owner of LR6 has a valid license number - the only question in my mind is *when* this license number was obtained. ![]() The customer who posted this must have own a valid Lightroom 6 license number." Sorry, but again, there is nothing I can do for you. Then customers who download Lightroom 6 and installed it in the past can use the Adobe provided license number to download Adobe 6 from Adobes website. "This only works, if you’ve receive an Adobe Lightroom 6 license number in the past, using the redemption code we have sent out about a year ago to our customer that was valid for Lightroom 6. He implied that you must have obtained your license number much earlier, and that since I hadn't done so, I'm out of luck. ![]() ![]() ![]() #8 0x00007ffff597c6dc in KIO::CopyJobPrivate::sourceStated(KIO::UDSEntry const&, KUrl const&) (this=0xa5b4090, entry=., sourceUrl=.) at /home/kde-devel/kde/src/kde/kdelibs/kio/kio/copyjob.cpp:482 #6 0x00007ffff597dbd1 in KIO::CopyJobPrivate::statCurrentSrc() (this=0xa5b4090)Īt /home/kde-devel/kde/src/kde/kdelibs/kio/kio/copyjob.cpp:738 #5 0x00007ffff59d93b0 in KDirLister::cachedItemForUrl(KUrl const&) (url=.)Īt /home/kde-devel/kde/src/kde/kdelibs/kio/kio/kdirlister.cpp:2785 #4 0x00007ffff59ccba1 in KDirListerCache::itemForUrl(KUrl const&) const (this=0xbeaca0, url=.)Īt /home/kde-devel/kde/src/kde/kdelibs/kio/kio/kdirlister.cpp:782 #3 0x00007ffff59ccf9a in KDirListerCache::findByUrl(KDirLister const*, KUrl const&) const (this=0xbeaca0, lister=0x0, _u=.)Īt /home/kde-devel/kde/src/kde/kdelibs/kio/kio/kdirlister.cpp:836 This would provide O(log N) lookup without any additional memory requirements, but would require some overhead for sorting whenever items are inserted or modified. An alternative would be to sort the KFileItems in the list by their URLs. One could use a QHash to provide O(1) lookup for URLs, but this would require a lot of memory and CPU cycles in large directories. Looking at KDirListerCache::findByUrl shows that it scans the (unsorted) list of KFileItems until the URL is found, so the runtime has a quadratic dependence on the number of files that are copied, which is problematic if that number is very large. I usually get backtraces like the one below. I can confirm that copying lots of individual files is *extremely* slow and tried to investigate that with poor-man's-profiling. Just to be sure, do you copy a folder which contains lots of files, or do you copy the files individually? I.e., do you select a single (but very large) folder and copy it, or do you enter the folder, select all files and then copy them? Moreover, could you tell us the exact number of files, and, if they are not in one directory, roughly how they are distributed in the directory tree? I agree that "I'm copying a 15GB of thumbnails" is not a common case, but regardless whether it's a common case or not, there is clearly something broken in KDE (or Dolphin or KIO or XYZ component). I'm leaving this as "Grave" because this is something that shouldn't be happening in such a mature DE and because this bug is making my machine unusable (while copying files). The desktop should stay responsive and the file progress should be hitting the HDD's limits instead of hitting who-knows-what-bug in KDE which is making the progress slow. The desktop is laggy and the copy process is slow. Create a 15GB folder with subfolders and small files (20-40 kb each file) This is what 'lshw' says about it:Ĭonfiguration: created= 16:46:46 filesystem=ext4 lastmountpoint=/home modified= 12:58:29 mount.fstype=ext4 mount.options=rw,relatime,data=ordered mounted= 12:58:29 state=mountedġ. The HDD is a Western Digital WD Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5". I'm on EXT4, and the drive isn't damaged, I can completely asure this (no errors in SMART, ran a few bad-sectors detectors liveCDs, everything is fine). The CPU usage in both cases is more or less the same, around 30% to 50%. Note that this doesn't happen with rsync. Even things as simple as moving the mouse pointer feels slow (the mouse pointer jumps from one location to another). ![]() rsync will take around 20 minutes to copy that amount of data, while KDE takes several hours (5-6, even 10).ī) the entire desktop (or maybe just plasma and all KDE-related stuff?) gets completely laggy/unreasonably slow. ![]() Where talking about a +20x difference in times, compared to rsync. The problem is that copying a 15GB folder with small files (thumbnails, ~20-40 kb each file) will:Ī) be ridiculously slow. Feel free to changed it to whatever component you think is better. I'm assigning this to Dolphin, but I'm not really sure if this should be assigned to Dolphin or KIO or any other component. ![]() ![]() This app’s video quality is also great, and you can use it to record 4K videos with the optional recording quality.

In 2014, he won the Author of the Year award at the Children’s Choice Book Awards for his work on “Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims: Time-Travel Adventures With Exceptional Americans.” She reportedly told a biographer her outspoken son only seemed interested in being on the radio. Limbaugh was also a top-selling author, despite attending only one year of college at Southeast Missouri State University, where he reportedly “flunked everything,” according to his mother. Limbaugh was credited with heavily influencing voters in 1994 when Republicans won the House of Representatives during President Bill Clinton’s first term. Vanity Fair once likened the shock jock’s influence among conservatives to Oprah Winfrey’s sway with women. “The Rush Limbaugh Show” was syndicated in 1988 and served as the prototype for the modern-day, right-wing media movement. Radio host Rush Limbaugh is pictured on the set of the public affairs television show “Meet The Press,” March 1993. He even compared COVID-19 to the common cold and falsely told his legion of listeners there had been 18 other COVIDs. Limbaugh, a cigar smoker for 30 years, had expressed skepticism over the dangers of smoking. “I’ve always had a question: If we were the original apes, then how come Harambe is still an ape, and how come he didn’t become one of us?” Limbaugh asked in 2016, referring to the Cincinnati Zoo ape who was killed by zookeepers after a child fell into his enclosure. He famously used the term “feminazi” to describe women’s rights advocates, and said in 2015 that “Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of pop culture.”įact-checking outlet PolitiFact found the majority of Limbaugh quotes were to some degree false, including his assertion that “the evolution crowd” could be proven wrong by the fact that gorillas don’t turn into human beings overnight. ![]() He was known for his fiery and articulate rhetoric, which was always impassioned, though not necessarily accurate.
