[QUOTE="J-see, post: 439015, member: 31330"] Here's a sweet example. I got home, inserted the card, told photos to f*k off, ran image capture and imported the NEF files. All 124 of them. Here's the situation after that import: [ATTACH=CONFIG]150063._xfImport[/ATTACH] Now Mac keeps that cache in memory because I will probably look at those photos and when doing that, don't have to load them into the cache again. Mac Nanny. It's also fantastic logic to better have 12Gb memory in constant use than having to wait 2 seconds when checking a shot. Even ignoring this mac-logic, the problem is that when I need the memory, it should dump the cache. It should. Btw, more than 10Gb for 100+ shots puzzled me at first since every RAW is maybe 40Mb. It didn't add up. Unless it uncompressed them in which case they're double the size each. I wonder what happens when I try to import 200 of them. That's more than I got cache. It also shows the mentality of Apple. This generation Macbook is no longer targeted at a serious audience. I'd dare bet good money that within five years, the whole graphic sector that always worked on Mac, will have moved to greener pastures. [/QUOTE]
