Saving a Project (Translation).

I am trying to save my project (about 500 forms/datamodules) with 3 languages. The saving of all the forms/modules takes about an hour. and the sib file is now 8 mb.

When i take a look at the sib file (during saving), I see the file growing from 1 mb to 8 mb and then again 1 mb to 8 mb and so on.

Does did normally takes so much time? Or am i doing something wrong?

Thank you,
Wesley

It is really long time for saving and it is strange that during saving the file size changes up and down. Anyway do you see correct SIB content if you open it in SIL Editor after saving?

I just looked at it in the editor. Thats seems to be ok.
I am using version 6.2.0.1. I am saving it as a project.

Then may be you just have some DB components on your forms which connect to database and fetch some data even at desing-time? This is the only reason I can see for such long saving time.

I can take a look for that. but what about the file size during saving?

As I said it is quite strange. SIB saving algorithm just uses regular VCL streaming methods and there is no any functionality to increase/decrease file size as you described.
