Logic reloading all samples on every save?

Question

I've seen this issue in the past but I don't think I've ever seen a definitive solution.
On the session I'm working on right now, every time I save the session, Logic reloads all samples used by all instruments. This includes both EXS samples and third party stuff like East West.
I've had this issue various times in the past and I'm not sure what finally fixed it. Anyone know a way to make this go away for good? Obviously I want to be able to save as much as possible, but every save ties up the app for a couple minutes - major bummer.

Mike, I remember seeing posts like this one before, and I'm also having trouble remembering exactly what it was that helped. I do remember that it has to do with where Logic thinks the data is saved, and where it things you want the data to be saved. Try doing a 'save as' on a project, and tick the box that says 'save assets,' and include only the audio files. This will tell the project to access all of the samples from their original locations and perhaps the it won't try to save them elsewhere every time. If that doesn't work, try a save as again, and this time include everything, and see if that does the trick. Still doesn't work? Try save as again, and DON'T include assets.
The other thing I'd try would be to reassign the recording folder to where your audio is. This may have been the fix for when projects were trying to save audio files each time, and not sampler files. But it's worth a shot.
Sorry I can't be more conclusive, but I remember that when this starts happening, Logic is confused about where the samples are and where you want them to be, and so taking these steps might clear up this confusion.
Good Luck!
