[Ronald Orenstein]

I ran the database cleanup and shrinking routines, including thumbnails, but my database remains at 36.4 gb.

 I have no idea, but I am running a database cleanup now.  I run Digikam on a MacBook. 
Thanks

Why is your digikam database so large?I use a Mariadb (MySQL) database to manage 172k images in digikam.When I looked at the digikam directory, the folder occupies  8.94gb on my SSD, but nearly 3gb of that is binary log files, which can be removed with SQL RESET MASTER.You may also retrieve space by using Tools|Maintenance in digikam to clean up the database.I would definitely advise against moving the database to an external device, because it will slow digikam dramatically.Steve
