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.

There are a total of three reviews: one review with a 4 stars total rating for version .9 and two reviews with a 5 stars total rating for version .95. The average is 4.6 and not 2.4.

Trimmit! CommentaryBackup... - Version: 0.95, 11/28/2007 03:30PM PST

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.

I saved almost 1GB on my Adobe Design Premium apps, and get this: Safari (Uni) 50MB -> Safari (Intel) 6.6MB! All seem to work fine.

This one does it all. The last had trouble with trimming my binaries.

Trimmit! ReviewComparison - Version: 0.9, 11/7/2007 06:07AM PST

Outperforms Monolingual and XSlimmer in size reduction.

The little "log" display tells you what it did to the file. The other two do not display their performance logs as as readily.

Does a file by dragging it to the application window. Monoligual has no file selection --- Xslimmer can scan and let you choose any or several, in addition to a single file drag.

For those that won't read docs --- Slimmit has a huge advantage over Monolingual, in that it does make a backup --- slight advantage over Xslimmer in that the backup option is simple to do and find.

Monolingual can remove inputs ( keyboard variations, like dvorik, unicode, etc) -- the others don't.

Trimmit does a selected file ---Monolingual does your entire drive --- Xslimmer scans your drive and avoids your system folder, or does individual selected applications.

Protection from breaking files by stripping is:
Trimmet-- 100% making the back-up
Monolingual --- known list built-in at the time of the latest revision
Xslimmer --- known list, updatable on-lin, and optional back-up.

The Monty Python people may not like your choice of icon images.
