Upper limit on imported images?

Is there a cap on the number of photos that Lightroom will :



1. import at any one time?

2. load into it's file library before it is full



3. or are the number of photos that can be imported and managed infinite and dependent only on the disk space available for the db?

Theoretically, no real limits. In practice, problems have been observed with large imports. We've heard of libraries as big as 1/4 million images, but 50,000-100,000 seems to be no problem for many people.

Then I take it version 1.0 is safe for a least a couple of hundred thousand images - if the imports are first parsed into smaller project folders. I'm hopeful it will get even better with the next version. :-)



Thanks for your quick reply.



Also, if you are --or anyone else -- knowledgeable in this area, my lightroom DB is local but the imported folders and the backup DB are stored on a gigabit network drive. I haven't had any problems importing 1K-10K images, but is there any indication 50-100K imports would be problematic if read from a network drive? I'd hate to dedicate my production machine for severalk days only to find that Lightroom can't handle it.



My photoshop/ACR workflow remains local, but indexing and thumbnail generation has to be updated off of a network.
