Stan, I have been using iCash since 2005, and have over the years noticed that the size of a NEW iCash-file is being bigger and bigger....
I'm now at a point where I would like to start a new fresh iCash-file, so I create "New" and arrive at 24,7 MB, thus a basic file with no transaktions but the default accounts and categories.
On the hand I have several old files that ranges from 4.9 - 8.2 - 14,7 MB, the latter containing thousands of transaktion over a 15 year period.
I tend to be a bit of a "minimalist", thus I prefer small and compact files, BUT I would like to know if there's a good reason for new files being such space-hogs ;-). I can always take an old file as a base and delete/change accounts to keep the size down, but something in me says that there is probably a good reason for the files increasing in size every year, or ...?
Please advise - What is the best route to follow? What is best "performance-wise"?
Best Regards, and thanks for keeping this excellent software up to date
