Hi All,
I just recently have been having this disturbing problem with Houdini Apprentice 10 build 295.
I import a bunch of geometries, modify them over a period of months, and the total filesize is still only 2MB. And that's 2MB with a lot of SOPS used over the period of months.
So last week i decided to import some headlights into my project from .obj files that i created. i imported then then saved the project…50MB. thought nothing of it, made a few micro changes…100MB. then 272MB. then 500MB. 1GB. and now at 2GB houdini won't create a save any more. Why is this happening? It seems to be doubling the size of the save files every time.
Its a good thing that every time i save i call it “file version 16.hipnc”, “…version 17” and so on otherwise i would be totally ZAPPED! and by ZAPPED i mean houdini would have zapped me with his magic wand and turned my whole many months of project into a worthless unsavable green frog.
Actually going back to my “version 16” file rather than the precious “version 17” i am losing so much of my apprentice hours invested in tweaking things here and there.
Help i don't want to be a frog anymore!
.hipnc filesize OUT of CoNtRoL!

This is an old bug that caused garbage characters to become stored and quickly multiply in the LUT file path in the Edit->Color Settings dialog.
The best solution is to just install a newer build. If you wish to continue using 295 then you can launch the dialog and switch to the Color Correction tab, perform a Ctrl-A to select all the text in the field then delete will fix the problem.
