I was curious about the disparity in reported size between the size on
disk in a file manager, and the size reported by "%m". I'm guessing "%m"
is the size in memory?
For example, I have a GIMP 2.9 XCF that is 4000 x 6000 pixels, 7 layers.
It's the early stages of a drawing, with very little information on the
various layers, just the main outlines, some guidelines and a merged
layer in shades of gray.
The size of the XCF file on disk is 11.5 MiB as measured by the Dolphin
file manager. When I open the XCF file in GIMP, the size shown in the
status bar is 3.8 GB.
Why such a huge difference in reported size?
