Is there a setting in BlueIris to delete related alert images at the same time that it is deleting old clips? Personally, I don't have a need for an old alert image if I don't also have the related video clip.
Thank you

Thank you- I appreciate the screenshot. I do already have this set up. I was hoping that, as the clips were deleted, any alerts associated with the clip(s) would also be deleted instead of having to manage them separately.
 
Alerts are on the SSD C drive. Video storage is on the X drive. Just a random number I started out with.
 
I clicked on the folder just for fun. It's taking forever to load.....I might see a need to reduce the size.

I think it's gonna go unresponsive in a min.
 
Now it says its empty? WTF... where is the default location?
 
Yeah a weird quirk is unless you are saving images there it will be blank, but all the thumbnails are stored there but you can't see the file.

Best bet is to set it to 1 and then do a compact/repair and let BI blow out all those extra thumbnails
 
ok.

I do not think there is. I suppose one way to do it is to limit by age for both of the folders.
