Compress database

[harryray2]

Is there a way to make the database smaller in 1.5? I vaguely remember a compress database option in 1.4

[void]

To make the database smaller:

• Reduce the number of files or folders in your index by:
  • Specifying each folder to include under Tools -> Options -> NTFS -> Include Only
  • Exclude files, folders under Tools -> Options -> Exclude
• Reduce the number of properties in your index by:
  • Remove properties under Tools -> Options -> Properties.
    -or-
  • Indexing only important properties under Tools -> Options -> Properties.
  • Specifying folder to include and folders to exclude under Tools -> Options -> Properties.
• Disable content indexing under Tools -> Options -> Content.
• Disable recent changes, file size, folder size, date created, date modified, date access and attribute indexing under Tools -> Options -> Indexes.

The Everything 1.5 database is normally compressed (slightly).
Everything 1.5 will no longer support enabling/disabling compression due to performance concerns.
