EOS showfile size

Hi all,

today I'm archiving my shows and for quick patching in the future, I'd like to save the patch of the theaters we visited separately for easy merging for our next visit.

Now comes the funny thing.
When I build a new show, do the patch and save it the showfile is 47KB.
If I take a new showfile and merge the channels that I need and save that the showfile is 8.637KB. (note it only holds the patch as data)When I take the original shows and delete eveything but the patch the showfile is also 8.637KB.

There is no difference between doing this on Nomad or a desk.

What is causing this and can it be solved? I'm not a fan of saving 30+ showfiles that only hold patch which are that big. And doing the patch all over again is just a lot of work.

I know that this is on a older software version but I'm currently not able to check this in the latest software.

Thanks,

Bart
