I have an installer created using Vise X (2.0) (for Mac OS X) as an "Application bundle".
The problem is that the "archive" literally archives every file that
goes into the installer. We track the "*.cvt" file with source control
software, and each time we change just a setting in the installer, we
need to check in a multi megabyte file because the project file (*.cvt)
contains the data as well!!!
Is there any way to disable this? I don't want the *.cvt files to have
the data embedded into it. Each check-in requires storing a new huge
file because of an option change.
I have played around with the options, and the CD-installer seems the
closest I could get, it does not store the data in the cvt file, but I
would also like the installer to be self contained, a single bundle
that does it all, rather than the installer, and data in parallel to it.
For distribution, it is easier to distribute one bundle than a bundle
and a data file tree. I realize that on CD, this is not a problem,
hence why it is close to a solution but not quite.
I can't imagine why anyone would want a project file to include data as
well. That is akin to my XCode project file having all the source
embedded into it. Am I the only one that thinks this is completely
useless? Is version 3.2 better in this regard?
Thanks in advance for any help.
