ooh nice :-) It'd help to have the real number though:

also - if you add a [PATCH] subject line to your mail, you can be sure
of review, without that it is harder to get people interested.

Sounds great.

Nah - just as long as someone is working on it, it is fine - we like to
discuss patches here. If you're going to dig into it, I'll dig out more
details I wrote up for someone else, just appended them: hopefully they
make the solution easy - just a matter of a bit of hacking, and some
Win32 build/testing :-)
All the best,
Michael.
[snip]
It seems that if I apply the attached patch, I end up with an
soffice.bin that is 7Kb instead of 7Mb ;-) that should be able to save
us - oh, 3 to 6Mb of Win32 installer space (which we can use for other
good things).
It seems that the problem is purely that we ram 7Mb of resource files
(primarily the .ico files I suspect) into both the 'fast
loader' (officeloader -> soffice.exe) and also soffice.bin.
Now; naturally this break something - the window icons when running
soffice.bin; so I have a few questions:
a) can we make vcl/win/source/window/salframe.cxx (SetIcon)
use a resource / Bitmap to set that, much like we do
already with the gtk+ equivalent
b) are these .icos (on a .bin file) used for anything else ?
[ can we easily audit that ? ].
c) Why are they -so- huge in the first instance ?
are dozens (cf. the verinfo.rc) of un-compressed 256x256
icons really necessary ? - they live in
sysui/desktop/icons/
+ does windows -really- not have some compressed
alternative somewhere here ?
+ how can this one set of .ico files be bigger than
an entire icon theme for the rest of LO ;-)
Anyhow - clearly, we can leave one lot of bloat hanging around in the
officeloader (soffice.exe) as long as we dung it out in the other and
save that installer space I suppose.
Thanks,
Michael.
