Just to correct myself LO Vanilla uses file compression so the size on disk is only 0.7 GB!
I don’t think the current TDF builds do that? Would alleviate completely any concerns about disk space usage FYI: Word etc. do not use compression on their .app bundle (base) EivindsMBP2015:Applications eivind$ afsctool -v "LibreOffice Vanilla.app" /Applications/LibreOffice Vanilla.app: Number of HFS+ compressed files: 13400 Total number of files: 14210 Total number of folders: 1127 Total number of items (number of files + number of folders): 15337 Folder size (uncompressed; reported size by Mac OS 10.6+ Finder): 2231006566 bytes / 2.26 GB (gigabytes) / 2.11 GiB (gibibytes) Folder size (compressed - decmpfs xattr; reported size by Mac OS 10.0-10.5 Finder): 667920126 bytes / 681.5 MB (megabytes) / 649.9 MiB (mebibytes) Folder size (compressed): 678052441 bytes / 691.6 MB (megabytes) / 659.6 MiB (mebibytes) Compression savings: 69.6% Approximate total folder size (files + file overhead + folder overhead): 700212535 bytes / 700.2 MB (megabytes) / 667.8 MiB (mebibytes) Supported on both HFS+ and APFS since 10.6 https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/360120/apfs-how-do-i-enable-transparent-compression > On 21 May 2020, at 12:48, Eivind Samseth <eis...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Sounds like a good solution, as the current method is fundamentally broken > wrt code-signing, and is an extra step for users > > How big would the .app bundle be?
