Is there a maximum number of photos that can be stored in
the library?
===================================
The images are not stored in the Library...only
the thumbs and metadata. The original images
are still in the original locations on your hard
drive or archived on removable media.
I'm not aware of a limit to the number of files
the library can catalog...tens of thousands...
even 100,000 or more should not be an issue
on a well maintained up to date machine.
The database for DIS 2006...can be found at
the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\>user name<\
Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\
POD\Pictures.pd3
If you don't find it...open a folder and go to...
Tools / Folder Options / View tab...Tick...
"Show hidden files and folders" / Apply / OK.
If you are cataloging lots of images...it's a
good idea to make regular backups of your
Pictures.pd3 file.
