Jens Krebs Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I just noticed, that some of my Designer and Photo files get rather large and research in the forums explained that the Affinity file format is optimised for speed, which is absolutely wonderfull (even the large files work great for me). However, it would be nice to have an option to 'save for archiving' concentrating on file size. What I imagine is, that, when I'm finished with a project, instead of clicking on 'Save', I click on 'Save for Archival' and the file is saved slightly differently, optimised for size and not performance. I put this, significantly smaller, file on my backup drive and keep it there. When I need to work on it again and open it, it automatically expands back to 'normal' and works normally fast, until I decide to 'archive' it again. Altenatively this could be an extra tool to download and install — I could drag my Affinity files on a small window to shrink them without changing format or contents and when I open them with whichever app from the range they are expanded again to work faster. Point being: While I'm working on something, I appreciate every little bit of performance optimisation I can get. When a project is done and I back it up, it becomes about size.
