Astin Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) All my free disk space is consuming by Affinity Publisher. Why is that? In less than 1h more than 50Gb was consumed by it. I added no more images or so, just added hyperlinks I'm using photos [trying to look if I can create interactive PDFs for ePapers] Now I can't even save my work because now I have only 4Gb free space [my affpub extension consumes now 500Mb, don't know exactly why so much] Edited August 20, 2023 by Astin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so turn that off. Are you embedding your images or are they linked? Check the Resource Manager.

Astin Posted August 20, 2023 Author Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) No I don't.

I see you also have many copies of each of those Embedded files. I'm not sure what overall effect that will have on the file size.

MikeTO Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 The images we can see in the screenshot aren't especially large but you have so many copies embedded. For example: The largest image is Daily Notes-Journal.pdf at 587KB but with 30 copies that is 15MB Home.png is only 3.4KB, it's tiny, but there are 1904 copies so it's taking up 6MB - this image should also be on a master page instead of duplicated on every page Click in the list of images, select all (Ctrl+A) and click the Make Linked button. Then choose File > Save As and see how big the file is. But regardless, you should also investigate using master pages for images that are used on many pages. Good luck.
