ACDSee 14 User Guide
You can use the tools in the Database Maintenance dialog box to update folders, or to identify folders whose thumbnails and
database information you would like to delete. The Database Maintenance dialog box displays a list of the folders on your system,
and uses icons to indicate the status of database information within specific folders.
Database content icons
Folder contains files with cached thumbnails stored in the database.
Folder contains files that were changed without a database update. For example, a folder or file was renamed or moved
outside of ACDSee 14.
To perform database maintenance:
1. In Manage mode, click Tools | Database | Database Maintenance.
2. In the Database Maintenance dialog box, browse for folders marked with the database content icons. If there are no marked
folders, you do not need to perform database maintenance and can exit the Database Maintenance dialog box.
3. Select a folder and click one of the following buttons to identify the maintenance you want to perform on that folder:
Remove Thumbnails: Removes all thumbnail information for the selected folder.
Remove All DB Info: Deletes all database and thumbnail information for the selected folder.
Remove Orphan Folders: Deletes any out-of-date or broken references to missing files or information for the selected
folder. It is only possible to check for orphans in folders located on your computer. This option will not be visible if the
folder is located on a network.
Change Binding: Changes all location references for the selected orphaned folder to another folder, and retains all
database information. The default binding folder is My Pictures.
4. The Database Maintenance tool will delete records, creating unused space in your database. To reclaim the unused space,
click Optimize Database, and follow the instructions in the wizard.
5. Click Close.
Optimizing the database
You can use the Optimize Database Wizard to quickly remove redundant or outdated database records. Optimizing your database,
along with performing regular database maintenance, helps regain hard drive space and improves the overall performance of
ACDSee 14.
If you are cataloging large numbers of files regularly, it is helpful to optimize weekly, or after an extended cataloging
session. This is also a good time to backup the database.
To optimize your database:
1. In Manage mode, click Tools | Database | Optimize Database.
2. In the Database Optimization Wizard, click Next.
3. Select one or both of the following:
Optimize the database tables and fields: Removes obsolete information from the database, reduces the space used
by database fields, and re-indexes the tables.
Remove orphans from database: Removes any orphan database entries, caused by files or folders deleted by other
programs.
4. Click Next.
5. When the wizard has finished, click Finish to return to ACDSee 14.
