castLib.saveAndCompact() from Lingo

 

Compatibilities: Required Xtras: FileXtra

castLib.save() is a documented Lingo function, but doesn't compact the cast when it does. If you want to compact it aswell, you must save it under a different name. Funnily enough, after you've done that, saving again under the original name will save a compressed cast. Then just delete the file you first saved. (Works in MX, don't know about others)

on saveAndCompact cLib   fName=cLib.fileName   cLib.save(fName&"X")   cLib.save(fName)      fxObj = xtra("FileXtra4").new()   flist= fxObj.fx_FileDelete(fName&"X")   fxObj=0 end
