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 -- http://www.mindvision.com/support.asp. 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? This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
