Large log size.

Unread post by James »

Hi,
I have verified that my log is 3.8 GB in size and I was surprised.
My log has about 4,000 registered QSOs.

Is it possible that the large size is due to the QSL's (basically from eQSL) I link to each contact?

If the cause of the size is true, I think the QSL's I will unlink.
I fear that the database will be corrupted one day, even if it is back-up daily.

Thanks in advance.

Your pure log database file size for 4.000 QSOs should should be in the 1MB range. A single eQSL image may have ca. 2MB. Please calculate it by yourself.

Correct.
I have 2 identical logs, one with images and one with them.
The latter is 1.5 MB.
I thought that the log kept the path and name of the image, but I see that it does not, it incorporates the image in the field.
Thanks.
