Excessively large VS files
-
I have what should be a very basic simple vectorstyler file that weighs in at 43mb in size.... I have two layers - one with an imported jpeg image that is 3.7mb in size. the other layer has a few lines of live text.... any ideas what would cause the excessive size?

@Boldline Bitmap images (JPEGs, PNGs, etc) are saved internally in an uncompressed format.
You can however compress the .vstyler file — File > Document Setup > File > Compression.

@b77 said in Excessively large VS files:
You can however compress the .vstyler file
What does this do exactly? What is getting affected?
-
@Boldline LZ77 compression is lossless and I think Zstandard is also lossless (developer can confirm), so no quality is lost for the bitmaps in the file.
-
@Boldline Images are saved without compression in vstyler files. The vstyler file can be compressed (see @b77 comments), but there is an open task to have the images compressed separately regardless of vstyler document settings.
