saving uncompressed obj files

[crystalwizard]

is there a way to force wings to write out a obj in uncompressed format? I really need to be able to edit the file after it's written out and correct some issues before importing it into daz studio.

Didn't know a compressed format existed.

Every OBJ wings ever wrote for me as ASCII.

I'm using the latest beta version and every .obj file is compressed. What version are you using?

Code speaks for itself ...

Code:

It's not compressed.

I suggest you make a video of what you are doing.

I'm using the latest beta version

There is not latest beta version available. The latest version is 1.5.3.

hmmm why exporting to .obj takes ages and export to .3ds is very quick, there that much differencies between these two formats ?
