Fred Slota Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 My database keeps being optimized when I close ComicBase, even if I made no changes. Should this be happening?
Mark J. Castaneda Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 Double-check your optimizing settings in Setup Menu>Preferences. You can set to 'Never' if you wish for Optimizing.
Fred Slota Posted January 18, 2023 Author Posted January 18, 2023 Except I don't want never. I do want it to be optimized when needed. My setting is "> 10%". However, it is optimizing with every close. I closed it this morning; it optimized first. I opened and immediately closed it when I started this post; it optimized. I opened it just now to check the setting and then closed it; it's optimizing as I type. The way I see it, either the optimization isn't removing the unused space, or the setting isn't being recognized, or the test for % unused isn't working correctly.
Mark J. Castaneda Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 Pete suggested to try doing a manual optimize (File Tools>Optimize); afterwards see if the software keeps optimizing as you launch and exit out of the software.
Fred Slota Posted January 19, 2023 Author Posted January 19, 2023 File Tools | Optimize... Optimizes. Exit ComicBase... Optimizes. Open and Exit ComicBase... Optimizes. Nope. Didn't stop.
Mark J. Castaneda Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 No issues with the manual Optimize (meaning it fully completed with no errors)? Programming team would like to inspect your database, can you 'Save to Cloud' with Sidekick to upload your database to your online account. After you do so, please email our support team at support@comicbase.com and they'll look further into it.
Fred Slota Posted January 20, 2023 Author Posted January 20, 2023 I don't recall seeing it throw any error messages. Cloud saving shortly... keep an eye on to the clouds
Steven L. Dasinger Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 If it helps, mine does the same. I set optimize on exit >10% and it also always runs Optimize database when I exit. As Fred mentioned, I can just open the database and immediately close it and it still runs. I have exited using both clicking on the X and using the Menu item to exit with the same results.
Mark J. Castaneda Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 thanks, i'll rely your info to Pete to have him look into it.
Mark J. Castaneda Posted January 23, 2023 Posted January 23, 2023 New Build is available to download that should address the problem ...give it a try
Fred Slota Posted January 24, 2023 Author Posted January 24, 2023 'cause I'm curious, what was the source of the problem?
Mark J. Castaneda Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 not sure exactly, it will likely be discussed with the upcoming livestream. Does the optimize setting seem to be working okay with the new build?
Fred Slota Posted January 24, 2023 Author Posted January 24, 2023 Have to install to find out, later today I think.
Steven L. Dasinger Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 With the Optimize on exit set to >10%, I am able to exit CB without Optimize running.
Fred Slota Posted January 24, 2023 Author Posted January 24, 2023 How de we know it isn't now broken in reverse? 😉
Steven L. Dasinger Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Created New Database. Set Optimize on exit to >10% Optimized it. Closed CB Optimize did NOT run (correct) Opened CB Ran Weekly Update. (which increased size from .9 MB to 3.4 MB Closed CB Optimize DID run (correct)
Fred Slota Posted January 24, 2023 Author Posted January 24, 2023 Was only kidding, but thanks for the check.
Fred Slota Posted January 25, 2023 Author Posted January 25, 2023 Got around to updating. Closed program and no optimization, so I guess it worked.
