10.4: Thin out Universal apps and non-English languages
Authored by: scmckenzie on Jun 13, '06 01:35:20PM

Thanks for the comments, all of them. I'd like to respond to some of the comments.

Regarding PPC apps. It will copy them and remove the language files, they still run, ditto will just ditto them sans arch messing.

Apps on multiple computers; I was running out of space on my laptop, I'm not running this on my G5. I agree, and don't see the point of doing this on a server.

Adobe CS2 & Software Updates; When is Adobe not a headache!? As far as software updates go I haven't had a problem so far. The updates are applied and everything is back to normal and fat again. I have to run the script again over the replaced files. Things like Aspyr updates, that's another story.

en*; Thanks for that, consistency is too much to ask for I guess.

Monolingual; It lets you do some major damage :) I like it! I don't know, there's got to be a compromise between the total safety of my stupid script and the total mayhem of Monolingual.

Adobe problems with missing files
Authored by: tshehan on Jun 13, '06 02:44:26PM

I have used Youpi optimizer over time to get rid of other languages. Recently I downloaded the newest version and when it 'went to work' a window came up warning me that Adobe Reader wouldn't work properly if I deleted its language files (I was leaving English only).
