<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Hi All,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I use digiKam to tag camera trap images for research purposes. I run it on macOS Sierra version 10.12.6 with 2.9 GHz i5 processor, 8 GB RAM, and 120 GB hard drive.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">In my database folder there is a file called: "thumbnails-digikam.db" which takes up over 38 GB of space and I am constantly running out of space on my MacBook. I was told that you should not store your database on an
external drive. Is this true? If I change the directory of my database to an external hard drive would this affect it in anyway?<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">What about on Windows OS, can you have the database directory on a external hard drive?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Thank you for your time.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Kind Regards,</p>
