Application File Size #128

why is the file size of the final application so great?

12MB if I only use a Cocoa MenuItem and the find panel for a TextArea. Without it only has a size of 5 MB.

As I understand it, Xojo's proprietary compiler does not skip unused code, so every bit of macoslib is included.

At some point the migration to llvm ("in progress" since Cocoa support was announced) touted having the kind of conditional compilation you're hinting at, but that remains to be seen, assuming I even recall that bit correctly.
