Run a repair and compact of the database to remove space that has not been recycled. (You can always remove some thumbnails that don't have data attached to them and remake the thumbnails after this process has finished as well.)Ģ. This will remove any thumbnails and the associated data for files you do NOT need thumbnails of. Right click any folder of this type and go to 'remove from folder'. For example you may have some folders with test images that you do not need thumbnails of. If there are thumbnails that are old that you do not need any longer, you can remove some of that data from the database. To increase your current database size you will first need to release some space that will allow this option room to do its job. Before beginning this process the database needs to be smaller than the 2 Gb size limit.

Databases can be damaged in several ways including a crash or a power outage while the ThumbsPlus database is open.ġ. The ThumbsPlus database holds important data that you should always have a copy of. This way you will have it if anything goes amiss with this process. (Please see FAQ 'ThumbsPlus Database choices')ī.) If you have important thumbnail data such as keywords, annotations, udf's, offline thumbnails or galleries that you do not wish to lose you can use a newer option that allows you to GREATLY increase the thumbnail count capacity on an existing database.īEFORE BEGINNING, make sure that you have a backup of this current important database. To check your current database size go to Database>Statistics 'file size in bytes'.Ī.) You can start over with a brand new database (with or without this 2 Gb size limit).

If your ThumbsPlus default database has hit the 2 Gb file size limit you have several choices.
