TIFF image file size increases after each overwrite

Support and Advice General Questions
1

I recently noticed that each time a .tif file is overwritten, it bloats in size very significantly each time. My most recently saved file bloated from 16.7 MB to over 100 MB after a few overwrites with minimal changes.

Is this normal behavior due to something I’m missing (previous document states being saved as well somehow, perhaps?), or a bug?

Deleting the overwritten file and re-exporting anew returns it to the un-bloated size.

That is really bizare. Please report a bug to bugs.kde.org under the product Krita.

As far as I know, our exporters should be overwriting the original file, but it sounds like its somehow appending???

Reported here. It’s my first time submitting a bug report, so hopefully I did it right :sweat_smile:
