Yes, my MacBook's SSD storage is very small and 38GB is a large percentage of it. Which is why I keep all images on a external and then copy and paste about 10,000 images from it to tag on laptop then when I'm done I move them back and take a new batch.

wow... on a 120Gb disk, it's not large :-)

I use an usb3 5Tb disk as archive, it may be possible to have the
database located there. Not as fast as my usual ssd but manageable


(still sqlite)
