v1.5 takes up way too much space!

Compared to my 2.47MB zipped 1.4 apps, 1.5 apps zipped are up to 13.3MB! I noticed that there's A LOT of images in the folders that my 1.5 apps have never used, and figured, maybe 1.5 isn't as storage efficient as it could be. Any idea if this will be something looked at in the future? Regards, David

Deal with it big boy. Jk/s just delete the images and sample videos you are not going to use from the project folder once you download it.

Good advise Senators24 - lol. There's a big-red-warning on the download screen that mentions doing exactly what you advise. Felix... it's probably not a good idea to remove any images in case your're unsure what they may be used for - for sure don't remove anything in BT_Images / GUI. But, removing BT_Audio / samplesong.mp3 and BT_Video / sample.mov will half-the-the-size

I'll make sure to do that David. :P I must have missed that big red warning... 100% my fault. Thanks, David.

Big red warning refers to xcode :P

Yes, exactly! Remove the files from Xcode before compiling, this will reduce the file size of the app. Are you referring to something else?

I was referring to the control panel at buzz, he was saying I didn't miss it, since he compiles it for me I don't see xcode :P

Ah, duh. You bring up a good point though. We should probably have a 'download with sample media' and a 'download without sample media' link - this would help us too (bandwidth). Good stuff.
