Armory

31 - Default to major Bloat

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. File size of Armory.lua file in the SavedVariables folder is HUGE

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I do not want to keep Profession or Quest info, and maybe some other stuff.   I have attempted to Uncheck these options in the Sharing section, but the Addon, just rechecks them immediately.  Ive attempted to delete a toon and add info fresh, but that does not help either.

What version and language of the product are you using?
English, 7.4.3

Please provide any additional information below.
Up to this version, the size of the archive was large, but reasonable.  The last update has added 50% to its size.

    The previous version introduced a binary storage format and used it as default (40-50% savings). That caused people to complain so I changed the default to the old format. If you want a smaller database you can enable "Prefer memory over processing speed" again without loosing functionality.

    If you don't need certain modules you should disable that module (see modules sub menu). The sharing options relate to /ar lookup that is used to retrieve data from other players.

    There is definitely something wrong with the option switching back to on after disabling it. I'll look into it.
