xtothepowerofy Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) As far as I can see, the .NET 6.0 runtime is bundled in all the packages provided on Github. Would it be possible to add a package without the runtime at least for the portable version? I do have the desktop runtime installed and don't like the duplication. Microsoft is taking the same direction there as all the electron app developers shipping a 50-100MB chromium runtime with each app. I really don't like that 😈  Thanks, Chris  Edited December 4, 2021 by xtothepowerofy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtothepowerofy Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Fair enough ... though I still don't like it 🙃  BTW: thanks for this great project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Making extra packages just adds a lot of extra work for me, and the only thing it solves is that a few people are "less annoyed" by something that doesn't even matter. In fact, it makes things worse for a lot more people because then there's confusion about which one to use. And a "portable" package that requires the installation of other things isn't really "portable," so it defeats the purpose.

Rick Brewster Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Anyway like @null54Â pointed out, I already explained why I'm doing things this way and why I'm not currently planning on providing FDD packages. It's just way too much work and confusion with an infinitesimally small benefit for a tiny number of people. 1 Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
