Can you reduce the size of the plugin?

    I came across this plugin while searching for something else, so I haven’t tried it yet. But why is the plugin so large? Why is there a v10 folder and a prev10 folder?

    Are you aware that the plugin guidelines say to keep your readme.txt to less than 10K? Your change log is enormous and the version numbers don’t make much sense. They usually suggest that you move the majority of your change log into its own file so that the readme.txt stays under 10K. The entire readme.txt is parsed for the plugin’s page whenever you commit changes.

  • Hi Joy,

    you are right.
    I was lazy to remove unused files.
    In the newest version this is done now.
    The zip is reduced now from 2MB to 1.14MB.
    I also took out most of the changelog in readme.txt and put it in changelog.txt file.
    It also reduced now from 65K to 12K.

    Thank you for your help.

    Kind regards
    Wasiliy
