Did you have a molecular surface in that large session? I have considered not saving the molecular surfaces and just recomputing them although that will make restoring the session slower as it tries to recompute the surface.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tom</div><div class=""><br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jul 7, 2020, at 2:28 PM, Melissa Jurica <<a href="mailto:mjurica@ucsc.edu" class="">mjurica@ucsc.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div dir="auto" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class="">What deterimines the file size of saved ChimeraX sessions (.csx files)?
