Space for logos on computer

Rev. Brian Johnson · 2024-12-02T22:41:02+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I am getting a notice when I log into logos on my mac that says stop indexing low space please check that you have 1GB of free disk space. My question, having logos on my computer are all my resouces taking up space on my hard drive? Is there a way to use logos on the web to resolve this? The only thing I notice about the web is I cant excess my documents, unless i am doing soemthing wrong.

Any help would be great

In theory, yes they do. Actually they take space twice, once the book itself, then the indexing data for the book (and double all this if you run Logos and Verbum both e.g. one for stable, one for beta). For one inividual book this is not much, for hundreds or thousands of them it will accumulate. Logos will need space. You can keep resources in the cloud (i.e. not download them or free up the space they used by un-downloading them) but they will lose some functionality. My solutions over the years were:

free up other unused or ill-used space on the then HDD
put an SSD into the computer as second drive (Windows users can do so)
run Logos on a larger external SSD (not officially supported, but works great, I hear it does on Mac too)
buy new computer with larger built-in SSD

That 1 GB is notification is standard. The actual space needed, even for 1 book, is double the size of the LibraryIndex folder on your disk e.g. my Index is 5.79 GB but it grew to 12.0 GB when re-indexing one book and then it reverted back to 5.79 GB (my Library has 3200 books).

As stated above, your resources use disk space unless they are in the Cloud. Removing 5.79GB of resources is a guessing game e.g. 16 of my largest resources (> 210 MB each), or 62 medium size resources (56 to 170 MB each). It is a lot easier to remove 10 GB of unused/unneeded data elsewhere (a free Disk Cleaner utility will assist you).
