Description
I was surprised to see that within a single minor release (from version 1.9.0 to version 1.9.1) the Windows version of ksnip had become 3 to 4 times bigger in size:
- ksnip version 1.9.0, archive (ksnip-1.9.0-windows.zip) - 11.6 MB compressed, 29.5 MB uncompressed
- ksnip version 1.9.1, archive (ksnip-1.9.1-windows.zip) - 45.5 MB compressed, 81.3 MB uncompressed
I saw that the main culprits for this tremendous increase in size are these:
- vc_redist.x64.exe
- opengl32sw.dll
I think that Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable should not be included in the in the program, while ksnip seems to be working fine without OpenGL library, What do you think?
I am not nagging, I am sure that you are doing your best to improve the program and I know that efficiency with cross-platform software is unattainable yet I think that 81.3 MB (uncompressed) for a screen capture program is too much, it looks unsavoury and even scary as it begins to resemble Electron monstrosities in size.
