FreeCAD 0.19 makes huge files
I've been working on a design in FreeCAD. All of a sudden yesterday, the file size produced by the program was 21MB, today it has grown to 24MB.
The design is not overly complicated.
I'm not sure how to reproduce the problem, other than to supply the offending files.
The file takes quite a while to open, but does eventually do so.
I'm not able to attach either of the files to this post as they are both too large. Below are dropbox links to the files

Thanks in advance for your time.

Re: FreeCAD 0.19 makes huge files
The first file loads already since 15 minutes. Is this normal or should I kill FreeCAD?
Edit: It is finally loaded.

Re: FreeCAD 0.19 makes huge files
If I turn the TechDraw view very slightly the size drops from 22MB to 2.1MB - which still seems rather big for this model, even after removeing the mesh. Loading time is 5 seconds.

I've deleted all the Techdraw view entirely and saved the file, it is still 21MB for me.If I turn the TechDraw view very slightly the size drops from 22MB to 2.1MB

If I delete the Page, file size drops from 2218996 to 2214761 bytes. You can open https://owncloud.gwdg.de/index.php/s/ft ... C/download and check what happens on a recompute. Please report back, the space to provide the file is limited.

Re: FreeCAD 0.19 makes huge files
1. Open your file with an archive manager (FcStd is just a ZIP).
2. Delete all the huge 32MiB *.brp files
3. Save the FcStd file, and open it in FreeCAD
4. Recompute all object, and save.
5. Check if there is any visual difference.

I downloaded the bracket19.FCStd file that you attached - I cannot see any problems or changes to the model that I supplied. I supposed I must have done something incorrect when I deleted the >32MB *.brp files from my original archive.
Downloaded the file, opened and recomputed. The file size is now 2.6 MB (2,575,756 bytes).You can open https://owncloud.gwdg.de/index.php/s/ft ... C/download and check what happens on a recompute. Please report back, the space to provide the file is limited.

I did this and FreeCAD refused to open the file after I deleted all the > 30MB *.brp files. The following error was provided by FreeCAD:1. Open your file with an archive manager (FcStd is just a ZIP).
2. Delete all the huge 32MiB *.brp files
3. Save the FcStd file, and open it in FreeCAD
4. Recompute all object, and save.
5. Check if there is any visual difference.

Re: FreeCAD 0.19 makes huge files
Is there enough here to open a bug up? Do I need to create a more detailed reproduction scenario?
Thanks

Re: FreeCAD 0.19 makes huge files
Not yet. Is there anyone out there having a newer OCC version on a Linux system?
