Widgets increasing file size

I have a .toe file with a lot of widgets in it and it’s over 15mb. When I delete them all it’s under 2mb. Is this becuase I didn’t have the Basic Widgets Package in my network when I started? I put it in but it didn’t solve the issue. Is there a way to fix this?

Widgets can get quite large if you have a lot of them.

There is a hack if you want to give it a whirl. Turn the enable cloning parameter on for all your widgets, and turn it on for all the widgets in the basicWidgets package. Resave your file and see if that helps.

That did help. Thank you @Ivan!

Great. Just be aware that the widgets are now cloned, so you can’t safely make changes inside them unless you turn cloning off.
