ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / Changing the Drive letter

« on: 2014-03-08 20:45:11 »

I want to move my files to a different drive. The file structure will be the same but the Drive letter will be different and ideally also the partition label. Is it possible to keep the database and change either the partition letter and/or label. Thanks.

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / Save My database! (making it smaller)

« on: 2014-03-04 18:31:30 »

My database is hitting the jet 2GB limit. What are my options?

1. Is there a way to convert the database to Sqlite3 format?
2. How to get the thumbnails out of the database and into separate files?

I found the solitary python script in the undernourished Help files, but of course no instructions in how to actually use it. I mean, what's the point of having that search box on the mainscreen when the help files are so meagre? Grrr!  

My thumbnail options are currently 96 by 96, 24 bit color, no compression. Please don't suggest changing the format to jpg or using a different color depth. I've tried for several days doing that on copies of the database and it always ends up bigger!

My final goal is to have my thumbnails at 120 by 120 size. I need about 5% wiggle room as this database won't grow very quickly.

I rally hope someone out there can help me. Thanks for reading.
