Uploads to 3D Warehouse twice the size of original skp file?
-
I just uploaded a file to the 3D Warehouse for the first time and was surprised to see that the uploaded file is 646kb, but the skp file on my HD is just 396kb. I even copied and pasted the geometry into a fresh file as I thought there might be V-Ray or SketchyPhysics data associated with it, but it made no difference. Is this normal?
-
Shouldn't be. Did you also download it and checked the file size against the original?
-
That's the crazy thing, when I download it from 3D Warehouse and save it to my HD it shows as 646kb, but if I open that file without altering anything at all and save it, it reverts back to the original 395kb. I assume it has something to do with the new 3D View feature, like it's embedded in the skp file when you export it. If so, that's a pretty bad setup: adding to file size and download time for the downloader and concealing modellers' hard work at producing very low poly models.

Hm... You are right - downloaded, showed 600+ Kb,opened,saved, now shows 400 Kb.
Should I move this to the Bug reports?Also, you know where to make a "proper" bug report if you wish...
-
Will do.
Yep, you can move it to SCF bug reports if you like. As a 3DWH noobie I just thought it was something that everyone but me knew about.

Done...
There are always smaller diffe3rences between what the download link shows and the real file size but IMO a difference up to about 50 or even more percent should not count for "normal". And what if you are challenging the 10 Mb upload limit?
