Partial success?

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: YES

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.

Languages - ankur1

That's correct - if the application is not localized in your first language, it leaves the language files alone rather than deleting all of them.

I figured out how to persuade it to keep all the languages I list in System Preferences, if they are available, and to keep my second/third choices if not. So now it will keep English/English-GB no matter what and Welsh if it is available.

I'm guessing other users might like this sort of flexibility but wouldn't have a clue how easy (or otherwise) it might be to implement in the general case.

Thanks!
