Title:
gwibber stores extreme number of messages in gwibber.sqlite
Status in Gwibber:
New
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
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.
