True. Cross dialect loading isn’t something we encourage to do with Fuel. @Thierry You said something about partial loading: that will never be possible with Fuel because of its pickle format. To select any partial graph you have to first read the entire file and rebuild the graph first (ok, you don’t strictly have to build the graph but you still need to read the entire file). > > Norbert > >> Would that make loading faster? >> >> Does it already exist? >> >> Thanks, >> >> Thierry >
