Im used to DeepMeta3 however i often experience huge lag when selecting say 50 images in a batch and trying to disambiguate them. Sometimes none, sometimes its sluggish for 20 mins or more and unusable.
Ive seen its effectively retired and v4 is recommended.
Ive just done a test batch and after 30 mins stumbling round on the fairly awful UI (why is keywords a non-resizable frame in the corner?!), unless im missing something, it seems to be missing a lot of functionality.
Typically once ive disambiguated a batch i'll upload some images from that batch, return a week or month later, submit some more and so on. This avoids flooding with similar, spreads out or allows me to wait for season stuff.
I cant see any way to do this here - submissions seem to be all the batch or nothing. Am i missing something here? Is this not a huge regression?
If ive just not found it in the UI can someone help with this? If it doesnt exist, what workflows are people now using with this? I would happily stay with v3 but the lag when selecting large numbers of images at once have been an issue for a long time.
From what I see in my own work and across client accounts, DeepMeta 4 just follows a different mindset. Before, we often prepared a series and uploaded it gradually over time, now that approach barely works. It feels like everything is built around a simple flow: prep and submit all at once. At first I thought I was missing something in the UI, but after a few real projects it became clear this is intentional. So if it feels less flexible and slower than before, that's not just you, a lot of people are running into the same thing.
I am not sure if I understood your post well, but you can submit only some images from a batch - you just select them and click on the submit ("rocket") button.

Thanks, that worked. Could not work that out at all earlier.
