What is your PVD file size?

(1/3) > >>

I have been using PVD for quite a while now. My pvd file which includes the database was around 500mb when I migrated from another software. It then grew and grew and never stop.

Now, it is at a whopping 4.9gb!!! I am very concern with how big this file can grow before things started to happen like slow down the managing the db or crash the system and so on. I would opt for separating out the pictures into different folder which shrink my pvd file to around 100mb but this have it's own pros and cons.

What's your PVD file size?

deazo:

 Mine is 1.1G
 I kept it that way by never downloading people's information and by only adding one picture per movie (7000 movies)

maschine:
In "Preferences" - "Miscellaneous" you can choose NOT to save the images in database file.
In "Preferences" - "Folders" you can specify where your images should be stored

This should decrease youre file size.

An there is "Tools" - "Optimize database ..." try it!

LOL...same question asked 3 years ago. Anyway, that thread does not have poll. I think it would be easier to visualize with poll. Not sure if moderator want to combine the threads.

Anyway, I know about seperating the photos from the DB. I have been doing that for the past 1 year. However, due to changes in my system recently. More notably migration to PVD portable, I had to combine the photos back into the DB. As I type now, migration to PVD is successful and I am now splitting back the photos out of the DB. The photos are stored in network drive. Hope this work without problems. I would have liked it even more if the .pvd file works also from network drive.
