Thanks for that, I'll check it out - I assume that the more complex CCFs have more NR variables? That gives me somewhere to look.

yes, also note that some variables contain very long strings (web pages)

Ah, I suspect that may be part of the problem - I'm just trying to see whether I can cache accesses to NR variables unless an update is explicitly requested.

Later...

Yup, that's now done, which should improve things a bit. I've also removed the restriction on the size of NR variable values in the variable inspector so you should now be able to see the entirety of the text of a variable by clicking on the drop down for the value. Furthermore, you can now directly edit NR variables in the inspector rather than using the Lua console. I may do the same for Lua variables when I get the chance, but that may not make it into the next build.

Build 3

• Improved behaviour of deleting pages and elements etc. Will now shrink the size of the file.
• NR Variables are now cached which should speed up loading of the component gallery, plugin component dialogs etc. All relevant dialogs/windows now have a Refresh button of some kind to force an update.
• Improved NR variable inspector to both show long variable values in a drop down editor and allow the user to edit them directly.
• Lua variable inspector now supports in-place editing for string, number and boolean types.

Ron,

I installed 2.0.0.3 to see if it would clean up my ccf. Deleting everything visible
shrunk the file only from 7236 KB to 7139 KB. So if your new delete is working, then
my ccf has a lot of old junk that is not visible, but still getting carried around. Any
suggestions of how to get ride to the rest of the un-used stuff? I tried saving under
a new name after deletes, but it didn't help.

Hmm.. did you delete at the page group level perhaps?

Rob,

I saved my ccf under a new name, deleted each page group one by one except for home,
deleted all frames on the home page, deleted all frames in the templates, and then saved
under a second new name. When I close the ccf and re-open it has zero entries under
loaded images, blank templates, a blank home page and Hardkey entries. Still the file size
only went from 7236 to 7139 KB.

That's what I mean, try deleting individual pages instead - currently deleting a page group doesn't mark the individual pages as deleted and internally pages have no reference back to the page group so I can't check when saving. I'll try to fix this.

[vitello]

Rob,

Deleting individual pages first and then the page group works with releasing memory.
Any hope of fixing the problem of the extra data in an existing file? I tried copying
individual page groups from my ccf to a new blank ccf, but the new file had about the
same size as the old file. Would it help to try to copy individual pages one at a time?

Peter

[Rob H]

I'll see what I can do to fix this.
