Xslimmer 1.6.5 MAC OS

Xslimmer 1.6.5 | Apple Mac OS X | 3 mb

Xslimmer removes wasted space on your Mac's hard drive by removing the binary from either its PowerPC or Intel code (depending on the system architecture used). The result users report is that you can save 47% of your disk space.

For example, when running Xslimmer on Google Earth 4, it shrinks the size from 101MB to 52.8MB, which is a 47% reduction.

As the developer states, the driving goal of Xslimmer is to achieve size reduction without compromising functionality. As of version 1.2, the option to strip applications from unwanted language files and localizations is added. Version 1.2.7 improves Leopard support by automatically excluding Time Machine paths from the analysis process.

Additional features for safe use include a "blacklist" and a custom folder list (which is by default populated with key system locations). This prevents problems with applications (or the system itself) that will no longer work after size reduction.

With the "App Finder Genie", a user can list all size reducible applications on the hard disk and choose to slim them and save a considerable amount of hard disk space.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.6.5:

* Adds the ability to slim mixed 64bit/32bit applications produced with recent versions of the Mac OS X developer tools, and that target both Leopard and Snow Leopard systems. This increases compatibility with both versions of Mac OS X and ensures Xslimmer remains fully prepared for the upcoming release of Snow Leopard. Recent, popular apps that are already being packaged to target both Leopard and Snow Leopard systems could not be slimmed properly with previous versios of Xslimmer. This update brings support for the new packaging attributes, and ensures compatibility with Leopard and the current beta/development versions of Snow Leopard. Some of the most popular applications that can now be reliably slimmed again include Tweetie for Mac, the most recent version of AirPort Utility, and others. Xslimmer 1.6.5 is strongly recommended for all users running Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5).
