I have a very strange behaviour with my current hipnc file. I found out that for some reason houdini doubles the file size if I save my work file. So my workfile is now 16 MB in size and when i save it again or save it with another name i get a file size of 32MB.
Hmmmmm
save as doubles the file size

Yes, I have the same “\\\”. The whole file is full of it.

How is that “me”? Does anyone know if it was actually submitted? I'd assume that it wasn't submitted unless someone said so and gave you a bug id.

I have just right now had a bad case of this problem now too. My hip file had hit 623mb before I noticed it - coz it suddenly took 20secs to save.
To repair it, I did the following things in a Shell:
cp myfile.hip /tmp/fixme.hip
cd /tmp
hexpand fixme.hip
cd fixme.hip.dir
cat .application | grep -v imgview2d | grep -v lut | grep -v colorsettings > .appnew
mv .appnew .application
cd ..
hcollapse fixme.hip.dir
.. and you should now have a new fixme.hip which is small and works ok.
This stripped out all the imgview, lut, colorsettings lines from the .application settings file, so you might have to set these right again.
Thanks,
Jason.

You can lock SOPs, the button on the middle left of the node. That will lock the data into your hip file, making it get larger. Not sure that's the reason, just the first thing that occurred to me.
Cheers,

I have the same problem, doubling the file size.
How can i know nodes are locked. i am not quite sure about the button on the middle left of the node

As mentioned above, there was a bug fix, grab the latest release. The issue of locking data was just a suggestion that was likely unrelated. How to lock data in SOPs is dicussed in the intro to Houdini interface in the help, I believe…
Cheers,
J.C.
I downloaded the latest version and copy , paste the code in the shell that the above Jason explained. I believe i also manaually deleted the junk ///////// . But i still have the huge size, 2.3 gb. or a little reduced to 1.5 gb. How can i submitt the bug ?
Can you help me further how to reduce and fix all the huge files saved in my hard drive. Thanks very much.
