Uncompressed boxed app doesn't support compressed bundles

Post by Psycho-A »

If the attached bundle is compressed by EVB, but the app itself is not, then the app doesn't read files from this bundle (we will get read errors). Conversely, if the app is compressed, but the bundle is not, then we get the same thing. I think we need to fix this. Sometimes it's necessary to compress a large massive of data into a shared archive, while it is wiser to leave the app uncompressed for faster startup. Or the same bundle may use by multiple programs which are either compressed or not.

Unfortunately, structure of EVB is following, that the files compression option should be specified under main EVB project, all packages are using this option to build external packages. You have to either use this option for whole project, including packages, either do not use it at all. No ways to mix it between main app and packages.

Well, OK, we'll have to put up with it for now...
But I would still like to build external packages separately in the future :)
