Support! Half the topics in Bugs & Glitches are about saving issues.

So…hello, ou bonjour, o hola, o ciao, oder hallo.

Support, its very disappointing to realize your project is over 50 Kb and you don't realize it until much later when it doesn't save.

Isn't the size limit 50 Mb?

Neither of these are correct - there is no blanket project size limit anymore (this is old information that dates back to Scratch 2.0). You can read more about the current size limits here.

Also, you should say "MB“, not ”Mb“. ”MB“ stands for ”megabytes“, while ”Mb“ stands for ”megabits" - a byte is made of 8 bits (a bit is a single binary value that can either be on or off), so a megabit is only 0.125 MB, or 125 KB. Big difference there. (Megabits are commonly used in networking, particularly when marketing Internet speeds for consumer internet service - note that this isn't the ISP trying to be deceptive, as network speeds have been measured in bits per second and multiples thereof since the invention of the first modems.)

I support this because:
1. I can't see any reason not to
2. It would cut back on “why doesn't my project save??/?!!!11!!” topics

Support, I made a project that I spent months on, and it just results in an error.

yes, very big support, I keep on importing big files, so Scratch won't save

/hj is the worst tone indicator. It's confusing and ambiguous. I hate it. The point of tone indicators is to indicate tone, or the way that a piece of text should be read, but what does “half joking” mean? Do you just wake up in the morning and think “wow, I really have something I want to talk about seriously but also kinda not, IDK you decide.” It's useless. I hate it. It just provokes a deep rooted anger within me whenever I see it. People just comment /hj as if it makes any sense. It doesn't. Oh wow, it's a tone indicator that's has a relative meaning, how useful, I'll use it in every comment I post. NO. STOP IT. You're a tone indicator, you have only one job, and yet you sit there doing nothing apart angering me.

/srs

^^^ (there's more below)
This one is useful because it tells you that this signature is fully 100% serious. (/srs) Who would've thought that tone indicators needed to tell you something about the piece of text they're attached to? /s

I'm serious, I'm not even going to put multiple (/hj)s a the end of my signature as to mock the previous paragraph for not getting the point of something(like previous version of my signature). /srs

This thing is really coming to a head. Seriously, for multiple days in a row, I've seen more than one new topic in the Bugs and Glitches forum about save issues - and I'm sure that ~99% of those are being caused by the size limits. If you support this suggestion, I encourage you to add it to your signature - that will help get the word out and increase awareness.

Also, if someone could “bump” the GitHub issue (just add a comment asking about the status of it), that would be very nice.

Today someone asked me why their music player wasn't saving, I knew from the moment they said “music player” that it was probably an issue with the song files being too big. Having a notification like this would be nice for that.

Because.. you have to give reasoning as to why you support, and it's useless to post ‘support’ without any reasoning..
