C:\Program Files\MIDILLI Tech\LumiFind\Logs	-	-	lf.YYYYMMDD_HHMM_XXX.log	Logs which LumiFind prints in the background	Windows: Only exists if installed for all users
C:\Users\%username%\.lumifind	~\.lumifind	~\.lumifind	-	Default folder for settings, license files, analysis metadata and analysis contents.	Settings -> Open Settings Folder will open this directory.

Similarly the following files and folders under .lumifind folder exists by default:

File	Purpose	Comment
settings.json	Contains user settings for LumiFind	Can be edited manually, but with care! See Settings File.
licence.json	Contains device and user-bound license information	If deleted or tampered, the license cannot be activated again. Licenses must be released only using the License Manager.
search_history.json	Lists the last performed search queries.	If you are using console mode, history will not be kept.
lumifind_db.sqlite3	Database to keep the track of analyzed files and their metadata. Usually small size.	Can also be placed somewhere else using the settings.json
lumifind_db	Folder to keep actual analysis data for documents, images, voice and videos. May increase as the number of files increases.	Can also be placed somewhere else using the settings.json
thumbnails	Folder containing smaller versions of the analyzed images, used both for detecting changes and displaying in the interface.	It follows the same folder structure the included folders.
logs	Folder for storing important information and error logs in the event of a problem.	If you enable Settings -> Auto Save Logs, the logs will also appear here after for each session.
