I'm trying to understand why this is happening: I export a folder from my Zope Site at work (resulting a zexp file of 300Kb) and Import it into my Zope Site at home. Well, if I export it again from my computer (with no changes), the exported file size is 38Mb!!! Both system are identical: Zope 2.3.3 running under Windows 2000 Why?? Is there any way to correct this? Thanks in advance... _______________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger Nueva versión: Webcam, voz, y mucho más ¡Gratis!

Maybe, you use an XML export and compare the two exports.
Both system are identical: Zope 2.3.3 running under Windows 2000 A bit old (though it has probably nothing to do with your observation).

Follow up question: Are zexp files dumpable? Are they just little ZODBs that I can pop open and dump on my own, or something more esoteric?

... Follow up question: Are zexp files dumpable? I do not know what you mean with "dumpable". Are they just little ZODBs They use the same pickling code but they (of course) do not have transaction boundaries.
Thus, you cannot use ZODB utilities to read zexp files.
that I can pop open and dump on my own, or something more esoteric? Sure, you can open the "zexp" file: when I remember right, they contain a sequence of (binary) pickle objects.
However, again, I would verify whether the XML format exhibits the same problem. When it does, it is much easier to analyse... Dieter
