Pretty large amount of files in plugin

    Hi!

    Is there any possibility that the plugin gets shipped with less files?

    The thing is, it has more than 2000 files. I have noticed that on some hostings (shared hostings) the plugin has trouble updating because it has so many files and for some reason the update process takes too long, PHP timeouts and update fails. Sometimes the only way to update the plugin is to copy updated files manually through FTP.

    Of course, it’s more an issue with hosting being slow but is there any possibility to look at this and perhaps come up with an option to ship the plugin with less files?

    Thank you!

    There is no possibility to ship a less big Plugin.

    What you can do is remove certain files, but that would mean to change the Core of the Plugin, something that I cannot assist.

    But as example there are several Example Templates in the Plugin’s folder, that you do not need for a full functional Plugin.
    Those are located in the “Examples” Folder.

    The issue is not with the storage.
    The issue is with process of updating the plugin – for some reason on some hosts it takes eternity to unzip&copy files to plugin folder with such big amount of files. And eternity happens to be longer that PHP max execution time. Therefore, the update fails.
    So, I can’t really delete anything from zip file of new version that is downloaded on the fly.
    But I understand and you probably shouldn’t change architecture of your plugin just because some hostings are not the best in the world ??
    Just wanted to know if by any chance there is a possibility to do something about it.

    Thanks for great plugin! ??

    Yes, unfortunately this is something we cannot change.
