Title: Compacting a database
Post by: mvkuilen on August 07, 2020, 04:50:25 AM
Working hard to add more and more images to my database. After every set, I do the Compact and Optimize command. Then, I also get a warning that the database was not closed correctly. Then I do the database diagnoses. Should I be worried?

This message is usually only shown when IMatch has crashed and it finds open journal files when re-opening the database.
This can also happen when another application opens the database (e.g. a Database Editor). Do you use such tools.

It always helps to include the ZIPped version of the IMatch Logfile (see log file (https://www.photools.com/help/imatch/#im_logfile.htm)) in your posts. In case there is a problem, the log file usually contains additional information.
