hi!
I just bumped into this yesterday, when my 1 Mb hip file suddenly grow to 135 Mb.

It's build 10.0.300. winxp32 vc8

So every time i save my file, it will write into file bunch of “\”\\\“\\\”\“” signs.
Where these come from?

I found it. It is in the color settings LUT string input field.
Every time I save, this field gets populated with more and more “\”\\\“\\\”\“” signs. It leads that a couple of Kb file will grow to 100 Mb.
Also it writes this into color.prefs file where it says
ui.cc.lut.val := “\”\\\“\\\”\“”;

I wiped my prefs folder to start fresh, and just put down a grid in a new file, saved it, restart houdini, open the file and You can see the new “\”\\\“\\\”\“” signs there already.
