Uploading templates
Could someone please tell me what the max file size for uploading a studio template is please? The file I am trying to upload is 3.75mb. I get the "file is too big" response. Does anyone have any idea how I can compress my file to a zip file so that it won't exceed the permitted limit? Any help would be much appreciated

It should give you a little chart when you try to upload. Let me see what happens when I try it here.
Humm the new vB seems not to provide the chart. I think the old limit was pretty bug, 10 mb or something. I'll add it to the list.
Are you using the Attachments option BTW?

I haven't uploaded anything since the move so I'm not sure what the options are but have you tried selecting the file right clicking your mouse and choosing send to compressed (zipped) folder and uploading that Sylvia.

Thank you Mary Anne and Doreen. Yes, Mary Anne I was using the manage attachments. I have managed to send to compressed folder using 7zip Doreen - see screen shot attached. When I click on the red exclamation mark it comes up as file too large! I'm at a bit of loss at the moment! I will have another look at it later and if I have to I will split it into 2 files to see if that is any better.

The max filesize has been increased. I guess my question is is it better to be adding the zipped files for attachments or the full filesize? I now have better control over that so perhaps knowing with is a "normal" size for the various file types (GSD Studio and SVG?) will help. The current setting are still too low for Studio and GSDs, I think. 1500000 = 1.4 mb
What about SVGs at only 1 mb?

Also perhaps Doreen could write up a short How to upload files tute if she has time? Specifically for the Silhouette forum, dealing with specific issues in here?

I've checked a few of my own files and haven't found any that are 1mb (all are under that) but mine don't have as much detail/pieces or nodes as some that are uploaded (but are always appreciated) so the zipped folder is probably the best way to go as Sylvia has now managed to do with her file that was quite large.

Just to be on the safe side, the limits for Studio/GSD/SVG uploads are 3.75mb. Zip files are 1.25mb. I trust that will be enough?

I think those limits are very generous Mary Anne. I've been looking through some of my files to see what size they are and most are well under 3.75mb. If a file is larger than that it could probably be split into two separate files for uploading. Thank you for all your help.

I agree with Sylvia and thank you MaryAnne for letting us know
