Compacting Catalog not where the catalog is.

Does that script also work on Windows? Presumably it does? I would love to be able to compact on a different drive than on my SSD.

BTW: the quantity of images in your database and the size of the thumbnails is NOT the ONLY issue that results in a huge database. I have "just" 139,458 images in my database, nowhere near a million, but my main catalog is still 7.54 GB large! The thumbnail database 31.2 GB at a 1289px thumb size...

But I do have a fairly complex database with LOTs of labels mapped to XMP ... which I believe can make a difference too.

Frank, the script will also work on Windows. Just change the VacuumFolder in the script (top line) to the folder of your need.

Great. Will definitely try next time I get a reminder to compact...
