Good point. I'll try to explain why I need to compress the file prior to the .ipa. The file is a sqlite db. It's uncompressed size is ~700mb. I need read/write permission on that file. If I'm not wrong, all "content" file stored in the bundle is read only, so i need, once the application is installed, to copy the original db to a writable folder. A good candidate seems to be the /Document folder. At this point the user will have 2 copy of the file, one compressed and one uncompressed, readable and writable, in the /Document folder. I know it's not good to have rendundant 200mb of data but I haven't found any alternative to this. Any suggestion? -- View this message in context: http://monotouch.2284126.n4.nabble.com/SharpZipLib-performances-tp4553235p4554119.html Sent from the MonoTouch mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ MonoTouch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monotouch
