When the process is finished, do a another repair and compact. (I have had reports of 10 hours and longer.)ДЁ. Go to Database>Advanced>Move Thumbnails to Files.Д§. *If you have more than one database make sure that the database that holds all of your data is the database that is open.Д¦. *This process may take a very LONG time even if you have a fast system!

*You can NOT stop this process once it has been started or the database will be hopelessly confused and you will have to restore the database from backup. I suggest the quality to be set between 65 and 75.Д«efore beginning the process to increase your current database thumbnail count capacity, please note: After the compact, run a JPEG compress on the database as well. Run a repair and compact of the database to remove space that has not been recycled. (You can always remove some thumbnails that don't have data attached to them and remake the thumbnails after this process has finished as well.)Дў. This will remove any thumbnails and the associated data for files you do NOT need thumbnails of. Right click any folder of this type and go to 'remove from folder'. For example you may have some folders with test images that you do not need thumbnails of. If there are thumbnails that are old that you do not need any longer, you can remove some of that data from the database. Before beginning this process the database needs to be smaller than the 2 Gb size limit. When you are backing up your important data it is a good idea to keep a backup of your image folders as well.ДЎ.

Databases can be damaged in several ways including a crash or a power outage while the ThumbsPlus database is open. The ThumbsPlus database holds important data that you should always have a copy of. This way you will have it if anything goes amiss with this process. To increase the thumbnail count capacity of an existing database that has reached the 2 Gb file size limit, you will first need to release some space that will allow this option room to do its job.Д«efore beginning, make sure that you have a backup of this existing database! Please see FAQ about your database choices.)

(Please note that if you do not have keywords, annotations, udf's, offline thumbnails and and/or galleries, starting with a brand new database is another option. If you have reached the 2 Gb default database size limit you now have the option to increase the thumbnail count capacity of an existing database!
