Digikam file takes up a lot of space

[WILDLIFE-HELP A.N.]

Hi JDD,

Thank you for the quick response!

Yes, it's over 38GB. I have about 400,000 photos that I've finished tagging and continuously get more and more. What I do is I'll put about 10,000 images in the collections album, tag them, write metadata to each file, then move them back to my hard drive and put untagged images in the albums/collections folder again.

I will have a look at the mysql settings in a minute.

Kind Regards,
Philip

are you sure? for around 50.000 images I use only 4Gb for this file!

may be you can use mysql on remote?
