Hi Gabriele : I'm sorry to have mislead you. My last email about 'save as' was in response to a suggestion by Steve that the mere act of 'saving as' could have an effect of file size - if I understood him correctly. I don't know what he had in mind but it caused me to make a few tests. The various 'save as' tests I did were on a different file with no external links (all images embedded) and they did show some variance in file size depending on whether it was the first 'save as' after opening the file or subsequent 'saves as' while keeping the original file open. This was completely independent of my mistaken first post where I apologized for having overlooked the link vs embed possibility. Regards and sorry again for misleading you., Philip On 18/04/2025 12:32, Gabriele Bertolucci wrote:
Original file.doc - 0.3 MB with all linked images, as you wrote in another post in this thread. OkIf I open the doc and then save as doc-a.odt, the size jumps up by 0.3 MiB to 8.4.So now you've get doc-a.odt - 8.4 MB. Probably size increases because all linked images now are included and no more linked. May you check it?If I then keep doc-a.odt still open and save as doc-b.odt, the size doesn't move and remains at the original 8.1.So now you've get doc-b.odt - 8.1 MB. Ehm....sorry, you said that "size doesn't move" but you wrote doc-a.odt was 8.4 MB. May you clarify?But if I then close doc-b.odt, re-open it and save as doc-c.odt, the size jumps again by 0.3 MiB to 8.4.Not so clear for me which jump you are talking about. doc-b.odt was 8.1 MB and now you say that it starts from 0.3 MBThat seems repeatable. The first 'save as' after opening the file causes the size to increase. Subsequent 'saves as' with the original kept open doesn't cause a size increase.But the first step could cause size increment if images are included and not linked.Curiously, opening the increased size file, (doc-a.odt which is at 8.4 MiB), and 'saving as' doc-a2.odt doesn't cause any further size increase. Doc-a2 stays at 8.4 MiB.It's extremely expected.
