Trimmit! CommentaryPartial success? - Version: 0.95, 4/5/2008 05:10PM PST

I've just started using this - somewhat cautiously. It seems to do several things quite nicely - thinning fat binaries and compressing tiffs. It leaves extra languages intact, though, even when I check the option asking it to remove them and when the application contains relevant files. Just wondered if anybody else was seeing this or if it is a peculiarity of my set-up.

It's possible that this happens because my first choice of language is not US English (or, indeed, English) - perhaps it finds no files for my language and, rather than keeping language files for my second choice of language or deleting all of the language files (which would not be good), it keeps all of the languages. (Just a theory.) I would be interested to know what others are finding - both users with English as their first choice of language and those with something else.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't creating a backup file defeat the purpose of trimming the app in the first place? If you are trying to save disk space, you aren't helping yourself by creating another copy of the file that you are trimming. Personally I think that the idea of having a blacklist/known list (like xslimmer) is slightly more intelligent approach. But trimmit! does seem to make the files smaller than xslimmer.
