Question: What happens during Purge Operation?

Opened this issue · 7 comments

Is it just the mp3 files that are deleted?
If I copied off the mp3s files before the purge happened (I have limited space on my Pi), can I somehow link them up with the detections in the database some time in the future?

for me "Purge" is doing nothing, the disk is just running full if I don't remove all data once in a while. Could this be an issue?

Yes

The birds.db doesn't get purged, you can still see the detections (and other information)- but not the audio file.
If you copy the audio files/folder to the intended directory (on your pi) you can see and listen to them again.

It's also possible on your pc with SQLite, but I don't know how

True, although it would be nice if the documentation is updated to explain this.
Thanks for the reply!
