Yep, this is a well known bug. In my testing my project grew when
renaming it and saving it. But it didn't grow unexpectedly just with
multiple saves.
I'm not too worried about that one since disks are big. :-)
I am worried, because of how it shows the development practices at RS
are not good enough.
I think RS should hire one or two more people whose sole task is to
get RB fast and reliable. Not "Win32 developer" or "Lead programmer",
but just "fast and reliable developer". RS would have to put these
people at the top of the development command, because slowness is a
part of design, and the people in command are the ones doing the design.
Of course that would require RS to admit that they are doing
something wrong.
Because you can't improve what you don't admit is wrong. And so this
psychological issue they have is limiting their company.
and my compiled app size has grown over 9MB in the same amount of
time.
This is more concerning, but I believe it's a one time gain from
moving to RB2006, right?
In my case, once I got over the shock of moving to RB2006, and
adapted to its slow compile pace (now I code and debug several things
at once, and compile less often) I find RB2006 a reasonable
environment to work in, even though it's 4X slower than RB 5.5 was.
So, we are moving away from RAD over time.
Well be MAD (medium) and then SAD (slow) eventually, at this rate.
Still, RB has a very nice environment for making small useful
projects. In fact that seems to be increasing overtime.
