I wanted to export a plot to an interactive HTML file.
The file was quite large, therefore I tried to reduce the size by generating the plot from a data view of the non-excluded rows.
Surprisingly, the file size was even bigger (this seems to depend on the plot type; for other plot types, the plot from the data view has a reduced file size compared to a plot from the original data table - but it's still quite big).
The solution was:
Remove the link between data view and the original table (alternative: generate the subset without link 
.
Would it make sense that the html export is automatically generated for a temporary data set with cut link -
or alternatively: a warning could show up in the log telling the user that he could reduce the file size by cutting the link.
concerning "cutting the link" - I posted a wish to provide a single click solution to do so.

SubsetLinked = dt << Select Where( :Airline == "Delta" ) << Data View;
SubsetWithoutLink = SubsetLinked<< Subset( All rows, Selected columns only( 0 ) );
