The thing is, I use Synkron (<a href="http://synkron.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://synkron.sourceforge.net/</a>) to automatically sync all of my photo folders across many different systems (both OS X and Windows). Synology's Photo Station Uploader, is just unnecessary bloat that gets in the way of my otherwise streamlined syncing process. <br /><br />Actually, since the latest DSM update, this problem seems to have drastically improved. Where it used to run for months without stopping, I've found that it usually completes in a few days, now.<br /><br />Still, it would really be nice if Synology could solve this for good, and give users an option to completely disable thumbnail generation for those who do not want or need it. <br /><br />Either way, I'm still stoked about my DS112 and I love it.Brian Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967275817126310908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13998656.post-35514029292212522032013-06-05T20:19:30.715-06:002013-06-05T20:19:30.715-06:00Go to Synology's download page for the DS112 a...Go to Synology's download page for the DS112 and download Photo Station Uploader and install it on your PC. It uses your PC to generate the thumbnails rather than the DS112, so it's a lot faster (assuming your PC has better processing power/spec's)for large batch photo uploads.<br /><br />You can find it here:<br /><br />http://www.synology.com/support/download.php?lang=us&b=1%20bays&m=DS112<br /><br />Just scroll down until you see it.<br /><br />I don't even have the unit, but I've been researching it, and I found that tip in a user's review on Newegg of the DS112j before coming across yours. Given the number of photos you upload, thought you could really use the tip, so enjoy!IndependentThinker71https://www.blogger.com/profile/17207337225024638326noreply@blogger.com
