Hi. I found this today. I´ve been working in my project for a few months and my OSM had grown up to a 120MB file. Today I found that my samples are only 45MB. I deleted almost every wavearray in my OSM, but filesize didn´t come down.
My file was named Prototype 16.osm. I copied my main module (in other words, the module that contains everything) to a new schematic and saved it with a new name. Then the filesize went down to 48MB. I did another test. I cut my main module and pasted it again (using the same OSM, not a new one). Then saved the OSM with a differente filename. Again, 48 MB. But then, I tried to save (using save as) using the original filename (Prototype 16), I chose to overwrite file, but the resulting file was 120MB! I saved the same schematic to another name, 48 MB, tried to replace again Prototype 16, 120MB!

indeed some odd filesizes with included wave files which i have experienced too.

Yes. But the weirdest thing is to have different file sizes just for using differente filenames!

this happens all the time not just with the wave container.
seems like that when you delete something from the OSM and then save it ,the file size doesn't change.
very weird .

Send in the affected larger & the one smaller version OSMs to [email removed] if you want Malc to get it fixed.
Just send in 1 file for before & 1 file after & let him know if you have more; don't want to overwhelm his inbox 😉

its a global problem...its happens with the example synth also.

So Malc knows about it?

I could with an example if you have one. A slimmed down one will do as long as it shows no difference in file size after elements have been removed.
I'm not sure why only renaming the file would make a difference. Unless it's your system not updating the file size immediately?
I tried deleting some stuff from the example synth and the file size decreased accordingly. Anything I'm missing there?

I´m sending an OSM to [email removed]. It is the multisampler-looper found in the wiki, and it shows the problem described here. Hope this helps to get a fix soon. 🙂

Just to let you know that Malc finally could reproduce this bug - seems like it happens only if you have auto compression turned off.

Good job with the bug hunting! 😇
