Title: large wxSmith.chm file from our SF site
Post by: ollydbg on February 15, 2016, 01:56:28 pm

wxSmith.chm (https://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/files/Sources/16.01/wxSmith.chm/download), this file is 264M. Any one can explain the reason? why a CHM file is so large?

Many images. For each variable, identifier, etc... Doxygen creates a new image and does not re-use existing ones.

...just a side note: CHM files are actually archives. You can extract the content using e.g. 7-Zip. Then you'll see that most of the size (~270 MB) are due to images for (dependency) graphs and alike. Switching off dependency graphs might reduce the size a lot. On the other hand, I find them useful...?!
