Sir,
Thank you for evaluating FoxTrot Professional.
My first impression is that you are throwing a bit too much information to be indexed in one go on your specific configuration. Suggest that, as you are experimeting, you create three or four indexes (from FoxTrot Pro’s Manage Indices…) window each with a portion of your data. This will let you better analyze which folders index quickly and which do not.
The following factors are essential in building indices:
- CPU speed
- Number of CPU cores. If you have several indices, each index creation or update will make optimal use of a pair of cores
- i/o speed to access the data to be indexed. If you want to see if I/O speed the issue, try and copy the 700GB or a part thereof to an SSD or fast local hard disk and compare indexing speeds when from the SSD or fast local hard disk and from the NAS
You can also launch FoxTrot Pro while holding the option and command keys pressed and select “Manage Metadata Importers”. From there, select only the essential importers for your data, leaving the other types off. Then rebuild an index. Especially turn off third-party metadata importers which may be slow in extracting text from their file types.
Finally, I suggest that the follow-up to your issue be done via support e-mail (use the help menu “Send a message to FoxTrot Pro support”) rather than to the discussion group.
Kind regards,

But i can see (because of the "filex of"-status and in the log), it's working. Is there any way to speed up this process? At the moment I do it with WLAN. Could this be "the break"? Should I exclude some kind of files from content indexing which are "typically" for this problem? Or should I "just wait"?
