My Hard Stops and Annoyances

I’m reopening this topic to allow further discussion. I’m not looking for workarounds. This is mainly for me to document issues, but I’m sure others have similar issues and would like to chime in.

Right now the most pressing issues are the two I posted about above and I’m reiterating below. Not do discount any of the other issues I’ve found, but these two are by for the worst.:

  • Glide is counting unused rows. I duplicated a project (that uses google sheets) and stripped it down to only use one table from that google sheet. All rows in all tables are still being counted. If I create a project from scratch and point it to the same google sheet source and the same single table, then it properly counts rows in only those used tables. My only thought is that Glide is counting the rows in unused tables because I have existing computed columns in all tables from when the project was duplicated. I’m left with two options right now. Either duplicate a project and have a grossly over-represented row count, or start from scratch and have to recreate all computed columns as needed. And, no, I do not have relational links that would be bumping the row count…maybe a couple that would add a few hundred rows, but definitely not 8000 rows.
  • File storage usage is being double, triple, quadruple counted based on how many projects use the same tables that contain the same files. I had up to 4 apps in my team folder that used the same google sheet data source. I only have 3Gb of actual files but glide was saying that I was using 12Gb. These are the same files in the same location. They are only taking up 3Gb of space. They did not magically duplicate when I duplicated the project, so why is a file being counted 2/3/4 times. I ended up deleting projects for fear that Glide would start deleting files without my knowledge. This point below in the documentation led to me to delete the extra projects I was working on. Can’t risk file loss because the data is being used in a 4 year old legacy pro app in production.
