digital photo professional

[TotoEC]

Maybe this is a dumb question but somebody point me to the correct way..

I am using Digital Photo Professional 4.1.5 under Windows O/S.  I took a bunch of pictures and saved the RAW files separately from the JPeg.  How do you navigate from one directory to another or for that matter from one directory to its sub-directory using the DPP 4.1.5?

Thanks.

A tiny triangle, about halfway up on the left-hand edge of the window, opens the navigation pane. Why does it have to be so inconspicuous? Who knows? DPP V4, especially its GUI, is most definitely a work in progress.

BTW, there's an option that claims to make the program open on the same folder on which you last closed it. You probably needn't bother to try it; it has never worked for me. (It does work in DPP V3, which is somewhat less buggy and a lot more intuitive than V4. But V4 has some useful features that V3 lacks.)

I think that is what my machine has.  It has 16MB of RAM and a third 2TB HD just for LR and PS to use exclusively..

I'm running with a 500GB SSD, a 1 TB conventional hard drive, and an nVidia GeForce GTX 1060 w 6GB RAM.  I use the local SSD for storing applications.  I use the local HD for downloading from camera, but store the images on a Western Digital NAS, running RAID 1, for editing.  Back it all up so that even BfromB would approve.

If you are running all your normal apps including LR and PS on a 500GB drive, you are probably starving PS and perhaps even LR.  PS and LR use so many swap files they like a lot of room that they don't have to compete for.

I stopped doing backups.  Last time I checked several months ago, there was over 200,000 photos in backups.  Nobody is ever going to want or even look through them.  So bye, bye.  Running four 2TB external drives and three 2TB internal drives is too much when nobody including myself don't care.  I tell what very few clients I have now, I will keep you job for six months then I'm done.
