Description Telesto 2020-08-27 19:07:11 UTC 
Description:
ENHANCEMENT: Make dictionary extension zipped bundles (reduces disk usage, maybe little speed-up at installation)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install LibreOffice (with all languages)
2. Go to the extension directory (bundle size 658 MB or so)
3. Compress it with zip normal; 170 MB

Actual Results:
Lots dictionary files

Expected Results:
Maybe zipped bundles? ODT/ODS can be read pretty fast. The old system can be in place next to new one (for backwards compability)


Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Aron Budea 2021-04-19 16:07:29 UTC 
My two cents is that generally, users only install one or a few languages/dictionaries. It's more relevant for QA people rather than regular users, and since it's not a huge hindrance (disk is cheap), probably not worth much effort.
