For my newest image I made to test P7, I just happened to look at the filesize for it... and it was 550 MB !!

Granted, it has a lot of figures and textures, but still... that seems like a bit much.

I did untick "Use external binary morph targets", so I could save and reopen images using V4. Does this have such a dramatic side-effect as to inflate the .pz3 files?

Attached link to the image in question for shameless self-promotion.

Yeah I've seen the same, two V4s and one complex hair and I have 220mb files.  I'm considering turning compression back on.

Ahh great, thanks! Not just mine going berserk then :P

What's this compression?

It's an option in Edit => Preferences -> Misc I think.  Just makes the files binary and compressed.  The main disadvantage is that you can no longer run script-type utilities against saved files e.g. much of Phil Cooke's stuff, because they depend on the .pz3 etc. files being plain text.

I see, thanks a bunch! I rarely use scripts, so I'll give that a shot.
