Universal tubbiness be gone

Posted by sh1mmer on Dec 26, 2006 in Mac |

In the post Christmas period while we are all loosening our belts you can reduce the size of those universal apps you’ve downloaded using Trim The Fat. Simply drag and drop universal binaries to remove the unwanted PPC/Intel part. I saved around a gigabyte, which is a pretty decent amount on my laptop.

Trim The Fat is less fully featured and shiny than Xslimmer but it does the job and it is free, which is a definite bonus. I would like to see Trim The Fat ramp up to compete with the Xslimmer feature set but I doubt that’s going to happen.

N.B. You should close down any apps before you trim them because forgot and it seemed to create duplicates.
