A fairly intricate foreign language vocabulary trainer I've been working on for quite some time was getting really bloated, so I started to figure out why. The main cause turned out to be the fact that I had 2 profiles, to make the interface bilingual. This literally doubled the file size and wasn't really necessary, so I went back to just a Master profile. At the same time I noticed that when I opened the standalone data stacks in Rev to make changes, just navigating around increased the file size! No new cards or anything, just moving between cards and stacks. I tested this out in the standalone, and after a session with no new cards, the data stack did indeed stay the same size. But when I opened it in Rev and made about 100 button clicks (next card, open substack, open sub-substack, next card, close substack, etc) the stack file size had grown by 3 k, even though I compacted it and saved it from the menu. I'll now try to open it in Rev as litttle as possible, but in the last few weeks I did quite a bit of work on it back in Rev and have absolutely no idea how much the file grew because of this.
Does anyone know why the file size grows without me adding anything to it, and if so is there any way around this or anyway to get rid of the bloat this seems to have caused?
