I know this program from my Ubuntu box... Smile

One suggestion: Could this be packaged as a multilingual package with the ability to skip unneeded lang files?
Evince with all lang files is 72 mb, with only english and german its 47 - almost half the size!
First I thought:"Nice. Now I can ditch Sumatra and Windjview and have both in one program" but Evince is 10 times bigger than the 2 together.

Using the PA installer this shouldn't be hard, however, the way the installer is currently set up, you either install only English, or you install all languages. Methinks a feature request is in order.

I've already asked that in the forums. John is totally against it saying the extra MBs are irrelevant with the current prices of the relatively large flash drives and with some application not working without all included languages included.

I still don't like it and I do the job of deleting the extra langs manually.

I read the IRC logs that it was a wanted but forgotten feature so Im happy now.

All multi lang installers work that you have 2 options: english only or everything. In my opinion it would be overly complicated to have an entry for every language.

@saleh: I think John is only against it when it saves only a couple mb. But in this case its almost 30mb which imho is different.
