Hey Keith,
I think I found the problem... Using the fan effect I was sweeping thru everything. I did not realize I had an effect on a model in a subdirectory that was not visible without opening up the subdirectories. It was confusing xlights. Once I removed the subdirectory effect it is running correctly and saving in the normal amount of time..... It should have been a hint to me when I saw the save time was way too long.
Thanks for your quick response.
Brad
