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.

Can you help me further how to fix the same problem i have .
I am a beginner in houdini.

The most straightforward way, if you don't have a complicated scene, is to start a new Houdini session with the latest build you downloaded and also open your current hip file. Now, you can copy & paste from your current file to the new session and save it. Done.

Cheers!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !
1.8 gb shrunk to 1000kb.
Did a hacker placed this bug in my computer and took my files already ?
I'd like to know if that is the case. Thanks million !

Steve

It might make sense to make a newer build, say… one that doesn't have this issue, a production build.

I've downloaded the newest build.
Did some one already took my file by placing the bug i had in the previous build ????????
Can any one answer to this question ????????????

Steve

I don't think a hacker took any files from you…

My production build comment was directed at SESI, not toward your hacker question…
