How to limit large file sizes in RecentX?

Question

Hello, I own RecentX and am using it on Windows 10. There are a couple of RecentX database files that are quite large: ...\Conceptworld\RecentX\rx5.db (3.8 GB) ...\Conceptworld\RecentX\rx5Clips.db (1.0 GB). Any recommendations about how to limit their size?

Answer 1

Hello, Kindly follow the below steps.

1. Download http://www.conceptworld.com/Downloads/Tools/CompressSqliteDatabase/CompressSqliteDatabase.zip
2. Extract the .zip file
3. Exit RecentX
4. Run CompressSqliteDatabase.exe from the extracted .zip file. You will get a warning from Windows because the exe file is not signed. This is not a problem. You can run it anyway.
5. Then browse to rx5.db and compress the file using the tool. You can take a backup of this file just in case.
6. You can do th same for rx5Clips.db
7. Once completed, you can run RecentX.
