Diskspace decreases when updating thumbnails in iPhoto?
I recently had a problem with iPhoto showing the same thumbnails on multiple images. I cleared the issue by updating the thumbnails. But by doing that my internal drives free space dramatically decreased, down to below 1 GB of free space! And I had to stop updating thumbnails.
I have my iphoto library on an external drive, and assumed that all databses and thumbnails was stored inside that package, isn't that right? and if so, why is space decreasing on the internal drive instead of the external? Should it decrease at all?
My son has a very tiny iPhoto library on the internal drive (approx. 300MB) could that somehow have tricked iPhoto in to believing that my library is also internally stored?
I hope someone can help me answer my questions, so I can get my space back:)
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
