Just copying any old album art image of the net.
I'm not so sure this is related to MediaMonkey anymore (although I didn't have this issue with MM3), because when I first opened MM after updating to 1357 and attempted to paste art into a track it happened instantly. Five minutes later I try again with the same image and I get the long hang. In that time, I can hear the hard disk spinning but no hard drive activity via the disk activity LED, so I don't think it's because the drive went to sleep or anything. The mp3 drive is a fast harddisk, 7200 RPMs and my OS drive is a c300 ssd. Disk performance in general seems fine, eg. copying a file between both drives is very quick.
I will look into this more and report back anything I find.
Edit 1- During the paste hang time, taskmgr reports that MM jumps to 50% of the CPU usage clock up until the context menu pops up, vs only 4-7% when actually playing a track. That is curious. I tried disabling Microsoft Security Protection (my AV) but that did not fix it. I also tried running in various compatibility modes, such as xp sp3 to no avail.
