Big .cpd file

[hughbetcha]

Hi,
I have one project which I noticed takes really long time to open and publish. I looked at some of the file sizes and I noticed the .cpd file is about 9MB, whereas other projects .cpd is 1MB or less and this project is no bigger than any others as far as content goes.

I'm guessing I've got a bad .cpd file and need to rebuild it? Can someone give me some instructions on what to do to fix this ?

Thanks!

This can happen from time to time. Just close your project, rename the CPD file to something like projectnameold.cpd and reopen your project. The CPD file is rebuilt. Only when you are sure everything is OK, delete the old CPD file.

Great thanks. Is there a need to rename the new .cpd file back to the original name? or does it not matter at all if the .cpd file name is different than the .xpj file?

If there is no cpd file for a project (and in effect there won't be if you've renamed the old one) opening the project will create a new cpd file with the same name as the .xpj file (e.g. projecta.xpj = projecta.cpd). Therefore you won't have to rename anything as you'll end up with the same file names as before.

Well that makes sense...my brain is just warming up for the day.

Don't worry. Mine is doing it's post exercise stretches after a LONG week and looking forward to that when I get home.
