can anyone explain this to me?

[IIIMik3]

is there any reason why zoom browser would be taking up so much space? Does this actuallty include my pictures themselves also? or is something wrong. Cause really that doesn't sound right, even if it DOES include all my picture files.

Mine says the same thing. It doesn't include all of my pictures, those are ~25 GB. I wouldn't worry about it.

How big is your ZoomBrowser directory?

Thumbnail Database.. it is huge...

[dtrayers]

My system reports same size, and this is what I get when I click on the size number:

I'm not gonna worry about it. There is no way all our Windows systems are reporting the same size if it's including the pictures or thumbnails.

Does Zoombrowser have its own swap file?

Just goto Program Files and find the Zoombrowswer directory. Right-click and select properties to see the real size.
I think sometimes those numbers in the add/remove panel are wrong.
I can't see it taking up 4GB, but perhaps it is in thumbnails, etc.

I use C1 Pro, and I set it to delete any unused thumbs when I close the program.

As dtrayers says, this isn't likely ... as what is the chance of two (possibly more, I'll have to check mine) completely different users computers saying the program was taking up the exact same amount of space ... with completely different thumbnails on each computer!

I've just inspected my system.

I have my images & thumbs stored on one drive, applications on another.

The complete ZoomBrowser system occupies about 61 megs of storage in its resident folders. Of those, about 12 megs is the "Camera Window" subsystem, ~0.5 megs is the database system, and 22 megs is the update file which I've decided to keep right where its sitting even though it is extraneous matter since I've run it and updated to ZB 4.5.1.

So no, Zoombrowser is probably NOT occupying 4 gigs of your hd.

I wouldn't be terribly surprised if every single zbthumbnail.info file is included in the total installed size if Windows is estimating the amount of data removed in the uninstall process. Mine was 4GB and that makes enough sense to me.
