Size of fsm change after Save as...

Hi,

i noticed something strange in fsm size.
First my schematic was 508.303 Kb.
Then i resaved it via Save as.. and changed the name a bit. And now without a further change of schematic the size is now 114.512 Kb ???

How is this possible?

I resaved it because i wanted to test a change. But as stated saved it without any change.

thanks

1) Buffers (some prims) may contain data which are saved. Even a "text" prim is a buffer. Such buffers may be filled by user or by processing data. Will matter with exported exe/vst.
2) Virtual workspace where FS is doing it's stuff with schematic data, so to speak "behind the scenes". Probably will not matter with exported exe/vst.
3) Loaded/unloaded files (like wav data, bitmaps, etc.). Will matter with exported exe/vst.

In other words - nothing to worry about, but pt 1 and 3 - may be important to pay attention to (you can load 300MB wave, and...).
