I think "Remove Compressed Data" from the File menu in Vise (and then
Save) reduces the size of the vct file before check-in, but the
makers of Vise would be a better source for that information --

You should consider switching to Apple Installer packages to avoid
the problem in the first place, not to mention other benefits. If you
don't know where to begin, starting with Iceberg (http://
s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Iceberg.html) is a good way to learn Apple
Installer packages.

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.
