Windows v 4.0: upgrading local app storage for better app performance
In release 4.0, we are replacing LiteDB with Custom key storage as the underlying database for our app. This should enhance the performance and scalability of our app.
Risk Mitigation: Dual Storage
To mitigate risks during the transition, we’ll store data in both LiteDB and Custom key-storage until the next application update. This approach ensures data integrity and allows for a smooth transition. However, it requires more space on the device to install the app update.
How to check the Size of the Windows Application
To check the actual size of the Windows application, which will be increased twice, follow these steps:
Go to the File Explorer
Navigate to the folder where FORM app is installed (usually,
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\FORM.com
).Right-click on the app folder.
Select “Properties” → “General” tab.
The “Size on disk” field displays the size of the executable.
If you don’t have enough space: alternative approaches
If you skip the update
If the disk space on your device is limited, you can install the app only with the new storage. In this case, you need:
Login to the app
Complete sync
Remove the application
Remove the application folder from the device
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\FORM.com
Download and install the new app version from our Help
Open the application and sync.
If you see the Not enough space dialog but you can’t free the space
Close the application
Uninstall the application
Don’t remove app data from
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\FORM.com
Install the version you use (contact our Support for the installation file)
Login to the app
Complete sync
Remove the application
Remove the application folder from the device
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\FORM.com
Download and install the new app version from our Help
Open the application and sync.
