It contains a bunch of stuff LyX does not need though and is therefore much bigger than the one we are using now. Would you then also try looking through its files and see what could be deleted? My first thought is that we could delete all of those executables, which are the exact same size as "magick.exe", like "convert.exe", "compare.exe" .... Wwe could delete "ffmpeg.exe" aswell, because its not in the current dependencies. And we probably dont need "IMDisplay.exe" and the "images" and "www" folders. Im not sure how much Imagemagick and ghostscript LyX uses though. I have just tried to remove those files and I get a total size of 16MB. Conversion of images works, I have tried to convert pdf to eps, pdf to png, eps to png. And if eps to png is all ghostscript is used for, then we could also get rid of that and convert pdf directly to png. Or just dont deliver ghostscript and leave it as it is sinse eps to png uses magick command anyway. Eugene
