CH1 Files Reduced to Half After Installing HR

[bendurso]

After installing the expansion (HR file), the resulting CH1 files are half the size of the original CH1 files.

I have two monolith files, each 440 MB in size.

This is my process:

1. I encode the expansion.
2. I use the "Package sample monolith files" function.
3. I set the split archive size to 2 GB and enable "Support full dynamics range."

This produces the HR file (574MB). However, after installing it using ExpHandler.installExpansionFromPackage(), the extracted CH1 files are only 200 MB each—half the size of the originals.

This issue only seems to occur with large files. I have another expansion with smaller CH1 files (around 1 MB each), and their size remains unchanged after installation.

@bendurso The extraction is 16bit, you need to enable an option for 24bit, I remember adding this but can't remember the detail, I'll check when I'm back at my computer soon

@d-healey Thanks I found it. ExpansionHandler.setInstallFullDynamics(true). It's just something to place on init?

@bendurso Yep that's the one, and yes, just call it once.
