As you create your storyboard you will add information which at some point will be no longer relevant to the current project. Some of this information will be deleted and some of it will be put aside and not associated with any panels used in your storyboard. All of these unused items take up space and inflate the size of your final project files. Toon Boom Storyboard offers you the opportunity to significantly reduce the size of your project by removing the following:
The Remove Unused Files command, cleans the history and browses the project directory for unused files and directories and removes them, then saves your project using the existing project name.
THIS PROCEDURE CANNOT BE UNDONE Once you optimize your project files you cannot retrieve any files which were removed during the optimization process. It is highly recommended that you copy all of your project files to another location before starting the optimization process. This will help you in several ways:
To optimize your project:
1. Select File> Remove Unused Files. The Remove Unused Files dialog box opens.
Note: Once started this process cannot be undone. Files removed from the project during this process can never be retrieved.
2. There are two options in this dialog box.
This starts the optimization process and cleans up your project. This process will take several minutes to complete depending on the size of your project and the number of files which have to be removed.
This returns you to the current workspace and does not start the optimization process.
3. Once the process is complete a notification dialogue appears telling you that the process was successful.
4. Click on the OK button in the notification dialog box, you are returned to the current storyboard workspace.
