Why are my .moxl files so large?

I am trying to slim down our team site collection--a never-ending struggle you're all famiiar with. :-)
So, I am in Storage Metrics looking for large files. Some of my forms library SharePoint Designer workflows are HUGE! in one, the .moxl file is 47 MB!
Why do these files get so large, and what can I do about it? I though all worlfow files were realtively small.
Cheers from San Antonio, Texas!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to know the reason of xoml file is large.
xoml file is a serialization of workflow object. When creating
the workflow in workflow designer, it builds object tree and serialized it into XOML format.I suggest you can check which workflow the xoml file belongs to.

  • Why are ACR PSD files 10-20 percent larger than the same file resaved in PSD?

    Why are ACR > PSD files 10-20 percent larger than the same file resaved in PSD? I posted this many years ago and never found an answer. Now that my drives fill up quicker, I thought I might chase this question a little bit further.
    Same .CR2 saved within ACR either with cmd-R or open ACR within PSD, the saved file is 34.5mb. Resave that same file (no edits) within PSD either with or without Max-compatible and the file is now 30.7mb. Another file that is 24.5 becomes 19.5MB.
    Why the difference? Is ACR and PSD actually using different compression strategies?
    thanks.
    Mac 10.8.5 / CC / ACR 8.4.1 - but this has been a consistent behavior over many years and versions, CS6 / CC.

    Hi Jeff
    If it is RLE it's not as efficient as LZW:
    Saved ACR>PSD = 40.1MB  (sample image this AM)
    opened in PS and resaved as PSD = 30.8MB
    resaved as TIF without LZW = 40.1MB    (this adds to your thought that the ACR>PSD doesn't us any compression)
    resaved as TIF/LZW = 9.6MB

    ???   I hope that the Adobe engineers are fussing over 10-20% efficiencies.
    I'm within arms reach to a rack of 40TB of drives (doesn't include off-site drives), and all 2TB drives are being recycled to 4TB drives, as a result the rack is always growing. Actually the ACR>PSD files don't really make a difference in our long term storage, only for the nightly backups. But anyway, how you save, what you save etc. should all be part of the discussion.
    .... so in my case, throw in an excess MB here and there and all of a sudden you are talking TB's. Plus advantages in backup times, drive life, and energy use.
    Somebody added compression into the PS>PSD format, but it wasn't included in the ACR>PSD format, was it a decision or an oversight? If it's just a matter of making ACR compatible with PS when saving the same PSD format..... then why not?

  • Why are my exported files not going to me email?  I have used 3 different ones.

    Why are my exported files not going to my email (receipts & business card)?  I have used 3 different ones...2 yahoo and 1 hotmail.  I have checked spam box also.

    For the Receipts app I chose to export the info as a PDF file..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send.  For the Business Card app I chose Send, not Print..an email was requested..I entered info and clicked send.  I haven't received anything, not even in my spam folder.

  • Why would an alias file be larger than the original file?

    I have a simple document that is 106kb. When I create an alias to the file, the alias is 133kb. Why would the alias file be larger than the orginal file when the alias file is simply a redirect to the original file?

  • Why are my ".pdf" files not opening in Creative Cloud? The tumbril shows up as a blank page!

    I just switched over from Adobe Acrobat Cloud to Creative Cloud; a tedious task. Most of my files open up fine, but some of them show up as a blank page thumb nail. They do have ".pdf" extension. Any ideas as to why this is happening, and what I can do to correct the issue?
    Ty

    @masood131 - A few questions:
    Are the pdf files without a thumbnail password protected? (Probably not but just checking since we will not be able to provide a preview for such a file).
    If you click on the blank thumbnail to view the individual file page do you see a larger preview image, or is that blank too?
    If you refresh the browser page does the thumbnail image show?
    If you upload the file a second time do you see a thumbnail image?
    If there is a problem with a specific file feel free to share a link with me via a private message and I can investigate further.

  • Why are all jar files not compressed in the JRE installer?

    I used 7zip to unpack jre-6u12-windows-i586-p.exe (Oracle JRE Installer). On unpacking, I got a core.zip, a zipper.exe and a few other files.
    Again on exploding core.zip I found a few things. core.zip contains all the jar files just like it would be after installation except for 7 jar files.
    charsets.jar
    deploy.jar
    javaws.jar
    jsse.jar
    localedata.jar
    plugin.jar
    rt.jar
    Instead of these jar files there exists the corresponding packfiles
    charsets.pack
    deploy.pack
    javaws.pack
    jsse.pack
    localedata.pack
    plugin.pack
    rt.pack
    I think these are files created by pack200.exe & unpack200.exe is run on them after installation to create the corresponding jar files.
    So now I have a few questions
    Why are only these 7 files run through pack200.exe. I assume its because they are bigger than other files. But it wouldn't take that much effort to pack all jar files & unpack them after installation.
    The .pack extension suggests that these are packed but not gzipped. Again why would Oracle not do a gzip also? for eg with rt.jar packing reduces size from 45 MB to 12 MB, while adding gzip also reduces it to 6 MB.

    Whatever the truth of all this may be, you won't find it here. This is a user to user forum, not Oracle support or a channel to the developers. All you will get here at best is valid post hoc reasoning: at worst, guesswork. And if you're trying to bring this issue to Oracle's attention, again this isn't the place to do it.

  • Why are my desktop files not showing on the desktop

    Why are the files in my desktop folder not showing on my desktop?

    An add-on can put its icon on the bar automatically if it likes, but some add-ons do one of the following:
    * Add an item to the Tools menu
    * Add an item to the right-click menu (depending on the context)
    * Put a button in the button palette so you can add it to a toolbar if you like (''to call up the button palette, use'' View > Toolbars > Customize ''or right-click a blank area after the address box on the Navigation Toolbar and choose Customize from the pop-up menu'')
    Also, you might want to double-check that the add-on is enabled.
    Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
    If you have the orange Firefox button, it's Firefox > Add-ons > Extensions
    Does that help? (If you have problems with a particular extension, you could mention which one it is for more specific comments.)

  • Why Are My Cache Files & Other "Hidden" Files/Folders Visible? & How Do I Get Rid Of Them?

    I hid mach_kernel and private, but the cache.db, cache.db-shm, cache.db-wal of both the system and user folder are, also, visible. Yesterday, I had to restore from a Time Machine backup because something had suddenly eaten all the space on my startup drive. However, these files were visible prior to the restore. So, why are they there and how do I safely dispose of them or hide them to prevent their return to visibility? Thanks.

  • Why are unwanted vi files produced when building executable?

    I'm using LabVIEW 9, and when I build an executable, it creates 3 unwanted folders containing a number of .vi files that I don't want to have.  The 3 unwanted folders that are automatically created are:
    NI_HTML, NI_report, and NI_Standard Report
    Why are these folders with numerous .vi files created automatically, and where is the option to exclude these when building the .exe?  Ok thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I assume this is a executable build description is created in LabVIEW 8.6 (or earlier), look in your LabVIEW 2009 build settings, there should be an option 'Use LabVIEW 8.x build layout'  (or something similar), this is probably checked, please uncheck.

  • Why is the jpg file so large?

    I can't find the reason why this attached image file is so huge?! Lately, when saving an image from Photoshop cc to a jpg image file, the file size has gone up 10 times. It is almost the same as when saving a PNG file. I normally use 9 in jpg quality, and I have been working with Photoshop for over 12 years. Have never seen seen anything like this before. I have attached two images for comparison. One of them is just one pixel row wide and should be no bigger than 20k or so. But it is 1,5MB. The other file with the iPhone/AppleWatch contains a lot more information but is almost the same size (1.6MB, unless image is compressed or resized when posting this ).
    Any suggestions?
    (Notice the very thin gradient line below)

    The image with the 1 row of pixels was removed when posting this for some reason, but I guess you understand the issue?

  • Why are the DNG files from my RW2 raw files are so large (37MB)?

    I have a fairly new Panasonic Lumix LX5.  I've recently converted a few files to DNG.
    They're turning out to be @ 37MB, over three times larger than the original file.
    I'm not embedding the original raw files in the DNG.
    NEF files I convert from my Nikon D2x are around 9.5MB.
    I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8,  DNG v 6.6 and also use PS CS5.5 and Lightroom 3.0.
    Any ideas??

    Thanks R_Kelly!
    I was using the DNG converter app.
    I just tried converting a RW2 raw file by saving it in from the ACR window in CS5 with your recommended settings:
    Compatibility 5.4 and later
    Jpeg preview:medium size
    without orginal raw file embedded.
    This yielded a 9.7MB DNG file.  Yeah!!
    So I went back and tried a couple using the DNG converter app.
    With compatbility set to 4.6 & later, the converted files are 37MB.
    But with compatiblity set to 5.4 & later files are 9.7 MB.
    This is the same when using either the app or  from ACR.
    So the difference here is the compatiblity setting.
    Does anyone know why this happens??

  • Why are the PDF files in v27 bigger than in v25?

    I have just created a v27 version of my single iOS app, which has been v25 before. Now the app has a size of about 550 MB instead of about 430 MB. I found out that the PDF files of the slideshows are bigger  than before. What is the reason for this change and is there a way to get smaller file sizes again?
    Kind regards
    Michael
    No idea? At least someone of the staff should know why the DPS creates larger files now.
    There is another issue which indicates that Adobe doesn't care about file sizes. In slideshows the DPS always uses PNG files (if you don't choose PDF files, which are larger now, as I have told you). Of course it is because of transparency, but it would be easy to let the user choose between PNG and JPG like Twixl does.

    You should report this via Gold Support who will investigate this. Minor file size changes will always occure on releases, however since you report the size change is significant, there may be some issue and needs further testing.

  • Why are my Jpg files so small after being saved from Nef

    Hi,
    I am finally posting after months of trying to figure out why my images are saving so small, some 4mb after converting from Nef to Jpg.
    I am shooting with a Nikon D4s and came from a D800. I was spoilt with really large file sizes and now I am freaking out because my jpegs are so small.
    I am checking all the right boxes as far as I can see to save the jpg as large as I can, and I am not cropping the images before saving as Jpg.
    Has anyone else had this problem? I can't understand why a camera as amazing as the D4s is giving me such small files. I have read everywhere that my files need to be over 6mb to be classed as high res.
    The only thing that I can think of is maybe I am pushing my nefs too hard in camera raw/lightroom resulting in a loss of quality? Although my exposure is correct 90% of the time so Im only playing with highlights or luminance.
    Can anyone walk me through the process of what I should be doing so I can end this headache!
    Thanks in advance!

    Images are 16pm (4928x3280px as you say), and the doc is 48mb.
    So here's where I really show myself up... am I right in assuming that the more adobe compresses an image the lower the mb is on the final file, meaning if there is less detail (i.e. the low-key image is predominately black) then the jpeg will be smaller. Does this affect the print quality?
    4mb seems very low res to me. How can I retain as much of the information as possible? Do you think I should sharpen more to retain detail? Or does it even matter and I'm fretting over nothing!
    Okay. The file dimensions are fine, so we're talking purely about content and compression.
    As I already said, the low-key image contains very little data in the first place (lots of black and no colour), so it compresses well.  The dreamy woman image contains a lot of plain blue sky and out-of-focus background, so that compresses well too. No surprises there.
    Have you got any more detailed images with greater depth of field? Try creating a JPEG of that and see how big the file is.
    An Adobe JPEG Quality setting of 12 means minimum compression and therefore maximum file size. But, even so, if you saved an image which was just a single plain colour, you would find that the resulting JPEG would be just a few kB. This is how compression works.
    The lower the quality number is set, the higher the compression, the more detail is lost, and the more JPEG artefacts are created in the image.  You are already saving at 12 quality, which is the highest setting, so you are minimising any problems with detail. You should save as TIFF if you want absolutely no loss of detail, but the file sizes are much bigger.
    4MB is not a resolution. Think of it as packing a suitcase. If you're taking lots of books, you won't get the lid down. If you're taking lots of soft woollen sweaters, you can take lots. 4MB is an indication of the space that your packed image takes—if it's made of light fluffy stuff then it will be a smaller suitcase! :-)
    You should sharpen your images the same as any other. Large areas of plain or out-of-focus background need not be sharpened. You're okay. Stop worrying!

  • Why are my exported files so small with lightroom 3?

    I have been editing 10 mb raw files and they are no bigger than 2 mb jpegs afterwards.why is that?
    i have been using presets while editing and i reset all settings at some point as my crop tool wasn't working properly.the resolution slider in the export window is at 100%, 240 pixels per inch, and everything else seems to be the way it was before.What am i doing wrong? I used to get much bigger exported files, cca 7-8 mb.

    I have just imported  raw file from my camera, taken at a full resolution of 21 MP. The raw file has about 23mb and the exported jpeg without the resize to fit box ticked 7 MB. I uploaded the photo on the website and it's still not good enough for a 20''x30'' print. I am not sure if other websites accept other formats than jpeg, as this one doesn't. Not that i want to use them but it was the easiest way for me to check.
    I am not sure if my client will want a canvas print, i am only assuming they might as they did in the past and i want to know what to do if that happens. I read that genuine fractals 6 pro is good, enlarges about 4 times the original size.
    The ppi image resolution required for "handheld" print viewing is higher than that for pictures to be hung a wall and viewed at a distance of  three feet or more.
    The ppi image resolution required for a large canvas print is even lower, with good results obtainable a 100 ppi. Canvas prints have a textured surface that reduces the print resolution and doesn't require as high ppi image file. Print houses use RIP engines that process the image file for both paper profile and printer native resolution. These RIP engines use very sophisticated "upscaling" algorithms, which are as good or better than a photo editing software application such as LR and Genuine Fractals. Because of this it is advisable not to upscale image files to meet a specific printer resolution such as 300 dpi.
    Your 21 mp image files (5184 x 3456) at 100 ppi equates to a 50" x 33" canvas print with edge wrap. Many print houses only accept sRGB profiled JPEG files, but exporting from LR with 100 Quality you create a virtually lossless JPEG image file. You should have no difficulty producing a high-quality canvas print from a well processed 21 mp raw image file up to 50" x 33" in size.
    For enlargements on regular photo paper 150 ppi minimum is required for good results. For your 21 mp image files this equates to 35" x 23," so there should be no problem printing 20" x 30" enlargements for framed wall mount viewing.
    What website gave you the "still not good enough" message for the 20" x 30" print and what is the actual resolution (???? x ????) of the JPEG file you uploaded? Reimport that JPEG file into LR to see the resolution if necessary.
