[Bug 891126] Re: Recude size of the distributable

 

Sounds good :-) I'll discuss this topic with Johannes later. But i think
there are no reasons which speak against the removal of the mentioned
files.

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.

  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.
