Basenji

Where does Basenji store thumbnails

Asked by pt123

I can find them inside the folder where the database is stored, nor could I locate a .basenji folder in the home directory.

PS. Thanks for the 0.7 update

All data files are stored in ~/.config/Basenji. If there is a directory called "user_data" next to the basenji binary all data will go in there.

is it possible to set it so this data is kept in the same place as the db, so that you can move your db to another computer without worrying about losing the thumbnails?

Currently thumbnails are considered optional cache data.

However, I might have a workaround:
1. Create a dir "basenji_databases" in a location of your choice, e.g. in your home dir, on an usb drive, etc.
2. Move all your databases and ~/.config/Basenji/dbdata in that directory.
3. Replace ~/.config/Basenji/dbdata by a symlink pointing to "<location_of_your_choice>basenji_databases/db_data" on all your computers.

Would this solve your problem?
