Is there any way to delete the library all at once?
Thanks.

Under the 'edit' dropdown menu choose the  the 'preferences...' option. Then under the library subheading there is a "Delete Library Database" option.

Ok Thanks. By the way this may be a bug but if you delete or move the files then try to delete the data base it doesn't seem to work. The icons are still there with a Question mark on them.
I closed TG3 and reopened it and tried again. At the moment I have to select the icons and delete them by hand which in itself seems to take a while.
Just something that may bear looking into.
Thanks,

In that same library setting there is a clear previews tab.  It worked for me.

Hi mash,

When you delete the Library database from the Library preferences panel it really shouldn't matter whether the files have been moved or not, as the actual database file gets deleted.

Just to clarify, you did use the "Delete Library Database" button in the Library preferences panel?

If so, please tell me what operating system you're using and what sort of user account you're using (for example an administrator account or a standard account).

Regards,

Jo

Hi, yes I was deleting through the preferences panel.
I'm running Windows 7 premium X64 with with an Administrator account.

I've noticed that objects seem to be added and deleted ok but .Tiff files take a while.
Not sure if that's because of the file size or not.

What is the checkbox "add library assets when saved"?  The tooltip just repeats that, not clarifies.
