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.
