File sizes

Maybe because psiloc prog is using a dll file (library file) psiloc.Dll . That's how it seems to me the whole thing works. One app with much smaller making calls to the dll. The whole code in one file (the dll). The arguments set by the smaller (arguments: eg. file name to be executed).

Even so, the .app must call the DLL, so surely launching a .APP instead of .DLL shouldn't dramatically boost the file size, surely...? :-?

What if this library file is always loaded on memory (it autostarts when the device boots). Wouldn't be different like making calls from the os? And the apps code will be only one or two lines. Of course if the dll file is not loaded you may end with varius system errors or even with a not booting device.

Hmm, I'm not really sure about the ins-and-outs of DLLs, that's not really an option for what I'm trying to achieve.

I use a standard Series 60 AppWizard project from MSVC++, I wonder if I strip out all the crud it will significantly reduce the file size from 4kb?

I believe this whole thing is for icon changer app you are developing. I don't know if it will greatly reduce the filesize but one friend who was developing on c++ for the pc platform was using this method to save him from using the same code again and again. I am new to c++ and it was like using the winexec command on c++ apps. A non c++ command but a windows command because it was simpler and quicker. Better wait for an answer from psiloc.

Hi,

No, this is for a separate project, similar to Icon Changer in that it is customising Series 60 😉 but not icons. 😊

I already e-mailed Psiloc about it, they say "their technologies/techniques are not available to public" 😞

Cheers

Try to contact symbianware too. Stacker is doing quite the same job. And i believe they will be more friendly. After all hera and zeus are regulars at this forum, they may reveal to you some info...

Will do, thanks

You are welcome pal. It is my pleasure to share some of my thoughts. keep up the good work And good luck on developing...

thanks 😊

Do you know how long it usually takes SymbianWare to reply? Although I'm not expecting anything tomorrow, being Sunday, and the fact I've only just fired off the mail.

I have never mailed them and don't know. Alternatively you can pm either zeus or hera on this forum, you may get better results and i hope they will help you.

Thanks
