Huge file size interferes with normal operation app usage

[ivanvanbeek]

Somewhere in the process my file size went up to about 820mb (with only one 'pixel' image). So the file gets 'unworkable' -probably because of the file size- it crashes with everything I do.

So i 'saved' it in the main menu as a .afdesign file and 'opened and saved it as a .psd file' on the laptop of a collegue with Designer for MacOs.

(opening the file in Designer for the iPad and saving it as a psd in the export menu was not always possible because of the crashes).

The file size went down to 17mb, tried it with another file with more layers (mostly groups) and the 'pixel' image and that file went down to 30mb.

Loaded the 2 'psd files' to iPad designer again now they are functioning fine again.

What could be the 

 

 

iPad Pro 12" with 14.7.1

iPad designer 1.9.2

Hi ivanvanbeek,

Without seeing the file it is impossible for us to say why the filesize has increased so much. It is possible that you have a large amount of history in the file and that clearing this will likely bring the file size down.

As for the crashes on export, again it is impossible to say without the file, but the limited amount of RAM on the iPad can cause issues with documents of a larger pixel size.

Hi Sean sorry for the late response but Lee (your colleque/moderator) responded. I got the file by a workaround (in the app save it as psd and then import again - now it is 12mb) working again. Asked him if he still was interested in the file.......
