After upgrading to 10.0.1, my family file size increased from 7.1 MB to 43.7 MB (7718 people). Why is this? Also, there no longer seems to be an option to save a compact copy. Did that go away in Version 10?

Re: File Size
Do you have preferred pictures in your Family File? Most likely the increase in file size is due to the fact that the Family File (which is actually a package now) contains thumbnails for these pictures.Originally posted by thboyd View Post
If you locate your Family File, then CTRL+Click/Right-Click on it and select "Show Package Contents" you can see the thumbnails folder with all the images it contains.
This has been replaced with the "Save a Backup Copy..." option.Also, there no longer seems to be an option to save a compact copy. Did that go away in Version 10?

Re: File Size
Mark, thanks for the reply. Yes, I see that, now. I saved a backup and that package is only 14 MB. If I look at the package contents for both, the original thumbnails folder has 1508 items and the thumbnails folder for the backup version has only 319 items. What's the difference here?Tom Boyd

Re: File Size
First, let me note I was wrong in my original reply -- thumbnails are created for all of the pictures, not just the preferred pictures.
The backup only includes thumbnails for the preferred pictures, where the original includes thumbnails for all the pictures.Originally posted by thboyd View PostMark Harrison
