Hi
I would like to move DXO DB from my C: ssd drive, to D:.
The files are in C:\Users\AppData\Local\ & Roming.
Is there a workflow how to do it right?
Thanks
For windows version you can set the path for the db in the preferences. My path is on w:/dxo5/db and my cache is on w:/dxo/cache on a ssd
Thanks @Guenterm
Just created new folders, didnāt copy/paste the files from the old directory. I will let dxd to create them by itself
@cohen5538 what @Guenterm says is correct but I have been concerned lately if things are working as I expected so I
-
Told PL6 to change the location of the database in āPreferencesā and normally I expect a warning (I think!?) that DxPL needs to āRestartā but I got no warning!
-
The location chosen had an old PL6 database!
-
I restarted PL6 and it started using the old database!
-
Created a new subdirectory and asked DxPL to switch to the new location, again no request for a āRestartā.
-
I restarted and PL6 was using a database the same size as the one it was using at step 3.
Further testing suggests;
-
The database is copied as soon as the āPreferencesā screen with the new location is 'OKāed
-
The database in the new location will not be used until DxPL has been restarted.
-
It appears if there is a database already at the ānewā location DxPL will not overwrite it and DxPL will start using that (āoldā) database after the restart!?
