Brian May Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 I understand the need to cover both the Intel and the M series of Macs, but could there be a simple (hopefully) algorithm or script to strip out the 'unnecessary' install within each application? Macs are notoriously short of real estate and these apps are now HUGE. Jowday 1 Quote
Guest Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 And 80% of the app size (~2GB) appears to be the exact same frameworks (liblibaffinity.dylib, liblibbmp.dylib, etc) in each app. Quote
Brian May Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 Surely then a script could be written to unload the 'bloat' after installation? Or could we not elect the installer to fit our platform? Quote
wonderings Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 What do you mean Macs are notoriously short on real estate? Or are you just referring to the exorbitant prices for hard drives 512 gigs and up? Quote
Brian May Posted March 1, 2021 Author Posted March 1, 2021 Was referring to the screen size actually. As for hard drives, this computer (2015 15" Retina MacBook Pro) sports a 1 TB NVMe drive & adaptor and cost me £110 - put it in a few days ago. Exorbitant prices for SSD - you betcha, that coupled with actively making it difficult, nay, nigh on impossible for users to upgrade their machines. Enough Apple bashing, it's fair to say I DO like cider. Quote
