Hi all,
I've noticed that quite a few PortableApps include gdiplus.dll (and require it on Win2K and down); OpenOffice.org, Pidgin, Task Coach, Scribus, RegShot, and my own BPBible being the ones I've noticed so far.
Should we be moving that to the CommonFiles directory and setting %path% to include that? The file is about a megabyte, and, well... every megabyte counts.
What do others think?
Personally, I don't think is really needed. That saves under 5 megs assuming the user uses everyone of those apps. It would require the installer copying it to Common Files, and a lot more work in the launcher. It couldn't be put in Common Files by default since not everyone uses that setup. Putting something in the installer to accommodate for the setup would be way to much work in my opinion.
