So this was a problem before, but it got worse for some reason.
Ever since TG4 was released, we have a problem opening and saving files, where both actions take minutes to complete, even for really small files like the TG default scene. Same for importing clip files, it takes 10 minutes for a 4kb file, for example. TG becomes unresponsive, CPU and RAM usage comes to a halt, the app hangs.
I tried everything to figure out what the problem was - local or network access, OS language settings, making sure the antivirus app is not in the way etc.
The problem was/is present on both Win7 and Win10, on 3 different machines with different MB/CPU/GPU setups. The only thing worth noting is that the Win10 installs were upgrades from Win7, not fresh installs.
In the past I had to wait 10-15 minutes for a file to open or save. Once a file was saved for the first time from TG, subsequent save actions were OK and took only a few seconds. When TG was restarted, the first save would take minutes again.
For some reason it got worse now, to the point where I can't open or save a file anymore - I'm on TG 4.5.60
The ONLY way to open a file is to double click it - it will open instantly. But anything involving the file open/save dialog will just send TG into a coma.
So I can open files instantly by double clicking them - no lag whatsoever. But I can't save it once I change anything. This makes working with TG impossible right now, and I really need to meet the deadline.
Another thing I noticed is that the Library will not work. When I click on the Library button TG shows exactly the same problematic behavior and hangs.
I would be really grateful for any support with this, I really need to get this resolved.
