How can I move the Excire Foto default database?

If you want to move the default database of Excire Foto to another directory, follow these steps:
1. If you have not selected the default database in Excire Foto, first switch to it via "File" -> "Open database folder" -> "Open default database"
2. Quit Excire Foto
3. Navigate to the Excire Foto application data directory. You can find this under "%APPDATA%\Excire Foto" (Windows 10) or under "/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/excire-foto" (macOS)
4. There you will find the following files and directories, which you can move to a directory of your choice:
  • 1to1.exfoto
  • previews.exfoto
  • thumbnails.exfoto
  • excire_foto.local.db
  • excire_foto.local.db-shm (if available)
  • excire_foto.local.db-wal (if available)
  • backend.db
  • backend.db-shm (if available)
  • backend.db-wal (if available)
You can then launch Excire Foto and choose "File" -> "Open database folder" -> "Select database folder".

​If you are not sure, you can also copy these files first and delete them from the default database folder later.
