"Huge speed gains" - I hope this is true. I just got back from 5 days of shooting. By the end, Bibble was crashing the laptop - it just couldn't handle a high number of images. As an ex-computer programmer, I can say that Bibble has the most poorly-written memory utilization algorithm I have ever seen in any application. Unfortunately, I'm forced to use it.

Canned:

I feel your pain. I finally gave up trying to process large directories and now break events into ~ 100 images per directory. Using that I haven't had a crash again, even when moving among multiple directories in a single edit session.

Too bad its typical marketing BS. Announcement at PK, but no official release date yet. Maybe we'll get a Christmas present this year.

Yea, that's what I did - broke them into directories containing daily shoots. Thankfully I only use Bibble for one specific purpose that other apps such as ACR and DPP can't handle. Otherwise I wouldn't be using it at all. Yep - we'll see when released.

I've dealt with large directories with no problem in Bibble. But that's me.

I'm definitely excited for 5. It looks great and maybe worth the wait. The localized editing feature looks nice.

It's about time! I was thinking that Bibble 5 would be the RAW converter that never was or was paralleling the 5D successor!

You may have inadvertently stumbled upon a winner! Let's suggest Canon burns Bibble 5 onto the eprom of the 5D MKII!
