I have been using The Dude for 3 years (love it), but lately i’ll have 5 graphs open and some of them just stop and no longer update. I am looking at my screen right now, its 16:38 pm, 2 of the graphs are current, 1 stopped at 14:50, 1 stopped at 15:10, 1 stopped at 15:25.
I tried going back to the “released” version a couple of weeks ago and the same thing was happening, I updated to the 4.0 Beta 3 today and it still happening.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
You might be getting close to filling up the database (the dude does bad things at about 2gb database), find the thread that has cleanup the database instructions. Reduce your raw keep time to default 2 days.
Thanks, but I have searched 6 ways to sunday and cannot find infromation on how to shrink the database size or set the raw keep time.
Found lost of comments on that is whats needed, but no directions on how.
thanks in advance
Sorry It is called vacuum not compact (found my old post)…
The easy way to vacuum the database is to put dude.db and sqlite3.exe in the same folder then make a shortcut to sqlite3.exe, edit the properties of the shortcut so that dude.db is on the command line.
“C:\user\guy\Desktop\sqlite3.exe” dude.db
Then double click the shortcut, type VACUUM; A journal file will be created while it is vacuuming… I think that is how, it is still running 
And raw keep time is Settings, Chart.
HTH,
