Jim, on my main computer it is extremely fast (i7 14,700K). Even in gthumb to import a folder of 6,000 images there are progress bars whizzing. I don't think FerrumPix actually imports anything, because it instantly had all the thumbnails from that same folder.
Well, my Linux system has an AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 270 Processor × 2, 3.7G of memroy. It shouldn't be a slouch but is admittedly 2 upgrades old. We upgraded my sweetie's office system a few years ago. Then because MS said it couldn't run Win11 and threatened computer-virus Armageddon we upgraded again to Wn11. The first was an incremental upgrade, the second an excremental upgrade. I would install Linux on the newer machine but I fear TurboTax wanting some older data. When next year's taxes are successfully submitted I may move to the newer system.
One disturbingly invasive thing FerrumPix did on first running was search my entire computer for image files. After that it seems to have settled down.
But enough about that. This is supposed to be about film pics. From my most recent roll: DSC_5291_fx by James Muller, on Flickr
These were "scanned" with my Z5ii/FTZ/Tamron 90mm Macro, converted to positives with Film.Scan.Converter, lightly processed wtih FerrumPix, uploaded to Flickr which then gave me 1024-pixel wide BBCode to post here.
