My gwibber.sqlite is 3.5 GB right now. And now my gwobber.sqlite.journal is 1.2 GB and growing while I watch. I have no idea what is in there, but it is slowing the system down as well as trashing the remainder of my disk space, then space returns, only to drain away again. Totally broken it seems to me.
I'm not sure what gwibber is doing for me, but I never post with it, and probably just follow my twitter account with it, since I do see notifications. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Gwibber Bug Heros, which is subscribed to Gwibber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/799356 Title: gwibber stores extreme number of messages in gwibber.sqlite Status in Gwibber: New Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gwibber I noticed that ~/.config/gwibber/gwibber.sqlite is > 640 MB big! Having only run gwibber for a few months and not having posted or received more than a few hundred Twitter messages I was puzzled and took a deeper look in the database. To my surprise I find that gwibber has some 340,000 messages stored in the 'messages' table, complete with message text, of which only a small fraction are from me or to me. It looks like the bulk of the messages is the result of 'search' operations. Needless to say, I find this storing of messages extremely wasteful of disk space. It could easily lead to users running out of space on their home partition. I don't know if I'm using gwibber in the wrong way, but that doesn't really matter.
