Shelf Load takes 10-20 minutes

Is this normal ? We recently acquired the substance database which I extracted the sbsar files to doucments>substancepainter>materials. Everytime I boot up painter it takes 15-25 minutes to load the shelf.

It is not normal. What build are you using?

1.7.3 , it seems to be getting faster after the new materials load the very first time . It also seems like some materials are problems, I took a handful out and only kept metal concrete and wood and Its much faster now. Am I only suppose to drop them in the folder when using them ?

The first time you load the materials, SP generates the thumbnails dynamically, that's what takes a lot of time if you have many materials. Subsequent loads should be really fast, no matter how many assets you have since we only load the assets that are visible in the shelf window.
