Hi friends,
Hi Klaus.
i know this has been discussed before, but if i remember right with no really satisfying results...
Does anyobody know if we can compress (zip, gz or whatever) an application
bundle on OS X via "shell", just like the OS does via the context-menu in the finder?
If yes, a little hint to the syntax will be appreciated...
[snip] I found and tried "ditto" in the terminal:
ditto --rsrc weihnachtsbaum.app weihn.cpio
but the resulting file "weihn.cpio" is exactly the same appbundle as the original package,
even the size is identical... Nothing to see of any kind of compression...?
Tried:
ditto -c --rsrc weihnachtsbaum.app weihnachten.zip
results in the "weihanchten.zip" file, but is still as big as the original...
What the heck are the correct flags to compress and decompress via "ditto"? :-)
This worked for me. Took a 60KB file down to 28KB.
ditto -c -k -X --rsrc RevolutionScreenSnapz001.pdf test.zip
-X keeps the archive from descending into directories that have a different device ID and -k signifies a PKZip archive as opposed to a CPIO archive.
