Title: q image size Post by: tez06 on October 24, 2020, 01:19:39 PM hi people, i was going through my pc deleting things to free up some space on my solid state drive, i ran a program called treesize and i was amazed what i saw when it comes to how much space qimage takes up, question is, is there some sort of temporary folder that i need to delete things out of every now and again?
Thanks in advance :-) Title: Re: q image size Post by: Fred A on October 24, 2020, 01:41:51 PM Quote hi people, i was going through my pc deleting things to free up some space on my solid state drive, i ran a program called treesize and i was amazed what i saw when it comes to how much space qimage takes up, question is, is there some sort of temporary folder that i need to delete things out of every now and again? Thanks in advance :-) I'll try. First of all, as a maintenance routine, you should click on Utilities in Qimage, and ythe first item in the drop down menu is Manage Disk usage and Raw cache etc. You can allow Q to delete cache files older than......6 months???? or whatever. Second option after cleanup would be to put the needed files on a different hard drive using MIGRATE. See screen snap. Other than a bigger SSD , that's all I can think of. Hope that helps.

Every image you've ever exported via the plugins is probably being saved. Use the Manage Disk Usage tool as Fred suggested, and if you don't think you'll need to reload/reprint past jobs, you can check "Export Folders" and remove those. That will get rid of all the copies of images that Qimage made when using the PS/LR plugins.

Thanks also Mike, removed files in export folder also and set q image to auto delete after 1 month. |
