Summary	0015946: File size increase
Description	the file size of my document did increase every time - now a document with some 120 pages has a size of the sla of 9.3MB which results in loading time of about 15 minutes and a memory load once done of 3.2GB the size increased first slowly, with the latest savings in larger steps (I'm kind of sure not to bind pictures to the document, thus e.g. the latest changes mainly doing hyphenation and few pictures should come with this change in size): 27.10.2019 20:22 683.260 chronik-v10e.sla 29.10.2019 20:27 694.485 chronik-v10f.sla 29.10.2019 21:15 720.003 chronik-v10g.sla 29.10.2019 22:08 785.058 chronik-v10h.sla 30.10.2019 19:30 792.571 chronik-v10i.sla 30.10.2019 20:52 1.049.818 chronik-v10j.sla 02.11.2019 20:40 1.146.292 chronik-v10n.sla 03.11.2019 20:26 1.235.473 chronik-v10o.sla 03.11.2019 21:13 1.235.492 chronik-v10p.sla 08.11.2019 22:17 1.396.899 chronik-v10q.sla 09.11.2019 20:31 1.672.171 chronik-v10r.sla 09.11.2019 21:55 2.228.425 chronik-v10s.sla 10.11.2019 21:20 3.324.420 chronik-v10t.sla 11.11.2019 20:07 5.488.688 chronik-v10u.sla 11.11.2019 20:58 5.486.438 chronik-v10v.sla 12.11.2019 20:29 9.817.031 chronik-v10w.sla Thus I had done a 3-way comparison of the sla version q/r/s - and to me it looks like a large block is being added again and again (recursion?)
Steps To Reproduce	hmm - I guess when saving the next version it will increase again, but then it will become difficult to continue working on that project

ale 2019-11-14 09:46 manager ~0047074	generally speaking, it's better not to embed the images in the .sla. can you please provide the .sla file so that somebody can look at the diffs? you can mark this ticket as private, if you don't want the files to be world readable.

arko 2019-11-14 09:55 reporter ~0047075	sorry that I might have written badly - I think I have no embedded images

This is what triggers this issue. To workaround the issue: - open your document - edit masterpage chronij-abt-l - select text frame whose text begins by "Offen für alle Bevölkerungskreise" - Item -> Text Frame Links -> Unlink Text Frames (or Unlink Text Frames and Cut Text) - save your document

arko 2019-11-15 07:47 reporter ~0047083	wanted to report today that it was reproducable by saving the latest version (9MB) under new name so the file size did increase to 17MB. But to see now you analyzed already, provided fix and workaround - GREAT!
