Unnecessary files in distributions

Featured Replies

Posted

When uploading IP.Board 3.0.0 to my server, I noticed several thumbs.db files in the distribution package. They are present as of a couple of minutes ago.

After doing a quick search in the .zip archive, I found a total the total of 14 thumbs.db files with a combined (uncompressed) filesize of 530 KB. While they don't pose a threat or concern, it might be worth removing them as they serve no purpose in the package.

Stupid Windows IPB devs that haven't turned off the thumbnail cache in their control panel. :P

:o I never hear the end of it when there's MACOSX_ folders!

I'm sure Matt could modify his build script to strip them out.

I did add some code to our build script to remove these. Will check that.

Yes, highly aware ;)

I've reported the thumbs.db files as a bug and matt marked it as fixed, seems he forgot to check some folders :P
