BTW, I used the very nice relatively recent dialog in
the panel context
"choose range", where you can manipulate the time dimension. So I did
_not_ go to "Restrict by condition".

When you do a GUI data-save and the current dataset is sub-sampled,
you get up to two option dialogs. First you're asked whether you want
to restore the full dataset before saving. If you answer No to that
you're then asked if you want to shrink the in-memory dataset to match
what was saved. I take it that you said No to the first prompt but
then I'm not 100% clear on how you responded to the second one. If you
can remember, that might be helpful!
Well, I couldn't remember exactly, so I repeated this part of the steps,
and I remembered correctly, namely that I most definitely did not get a
second dialog window. After saying No to the first choice the data was
simply saved (or so it seemed) and nothing else happened.
