Modularity for SFX archives

Open schnaader opened this issue 9 years ago • 0 comments

When using Precomp for self extracting archives, the following would be useful to reduce their size:

  • Remove code not used for SFX (e.g. on-the-fly compressions, verbose mode, ...)
  • Remove or adjust code like command-line parsing, syntax help
  • Remove all decompression code, only use recompression code
  • Removing all unused recompression methods (e.g. if only PNG and JPG were used, remove all others)

This could be done using modular concepts, e.g. using #ifdefs or treating recompression methods as plug-ins.
