Not found a post on this so thought I'd mention it

Whilst playing with stacker I found compresssing the contects of the install folder in system to be the only usefull group of files to compress with a good ratio and little risk -just remeber to uncompress before installing anything new.... saved me 40k

Thanks for the tip.

I did same with Sdoubler and saved 60k 😃

and if you associate the compression with App manager you can install something without first uncompressing as sdoubler does it automatically.

If you do play DONT compress the programs directory!!!

I did and after having to re install everything for some reason stacker didnt work afterwards 😊 still lesson learned!

60k!!! I have 12 files in my directory Im hoping you have more now 😊

I'm very careful to compress system folders. Funny results at times. Always have backup ready.
