Public bug reported: I was wondering, why the RevAger distributable (not only the current 1.4.1 RC1) is so big - aprox. 9 MB.
The external libraries take up space as follows: 2300k Derby 1000k iText 70k lablib-checkboxtree Therefore, the rest of the application should be around 5,5MB! I looked inside our packages and found aprox this usage statistics: 250k app 4800k gui (3600k are taken by the icons!) 1470k resources (1250k is taken by the help system) 130k the rest Since the help was removed (in 1.4 i think) we could save those 1250k. Also, the "thumbs.db" (auto-created by Windows I guess?) is included several times (takes around 350k in the gui/icons subfolder!) but is actually completely obsolete. With just these two measures, we could reduce the file size by around 1,5 MB. ** Affects: revager Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - thumbs.db should not be included + Recude size of the distributable -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of RevAger Developers, which is the registrant for RevAger. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/891126 Title: Recude size of the distributable Status in RevAger: New Bug description: I was wondering, why the RevAger distributable (not only the current 1.4.1 RC1) is so big - aprox. 9 MB.
