hey all, i've been making some pretty giant files with a ton of nodes, which makes my inkscape run REALLY slow, which is totally understandable, especially on my 5yo macbook.
but the problem i'm having is that even if i delete everything but a handful of elements (in this most recent case, like 8 simple circles, each with only 4 nodes), the file size remains enormous. is there a secret per-file cache i can clear? i don't want to get rid of all my preferences and stuff, just maybe the memory within a specific file? is that a thing? thanks!
according to copy and paste, i'm running Inkscape 1.3-alpha (95f74fb, 2023-03-31)
Beyond the Basics file size staying huge even after cleaning it up?
