MacBook Air
Sonoma 14.2.1
Photos lags terribly when uploadimg thumbnails of photos to download from SD card. Now it's lagging terribly in loading them. It's been 10 minutes already, and it's still not imported all photos. There are onl 64 to import.
Anybody else experiencing this problem? Any helpful tips available?
Thank you.

Sometimes things get stuck, it seems. Have you tried re-booting? Especially, have you tried re-booting in Safe Mode? Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support
Safe mode cleans out some background things and sometimes fixes slowdowns and glitches like this.

How is the external drive formatted and connected to your MBA?
Where are you importing from?

Is using Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) any faster?

Not sure why these make a difference. It was a simple matter of the same computer took photos from the same SD card and loaded them onto the same external hard drive on one day. And then just tortoised along on the next.
Photos running Too Slowly!
