Tellico data being saved as a XML file, not Zip file

Hello,

I'm having a strange behavior. I created a custom database of my 
photographs : a thumbnail of size 600x400 and EXIF data. It has around 
23.000 records with size :

$ du -sh Photography.tc Photography_files
28M	Photography.tc
756M	Photography_files

A strange thing, Photography.tc file is a XML file, instead of ZIP file. 
I can even open it with vi. Tellico can open it without problems. But 
many operations take really long time.

Tellico data is being created importing a .CSV file with all data. The 
content is correct.

I tried to create another instance with just 1200 records, but I have 
the same behavior.

I tried to do "Save as" to see if tellico saves it as a ZIP file. No 
success.

Either way, I think I'll split the data into two or three instances. 
Maybe this will solve the response time.

Any comment or hint ?

Best regards

José-Marcio
