Long simulator load times for large folders

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

This is a minor bug I’ve had an issue since the previous release.

When the previous release came out, I posted that my application would take ages to launch in the new version - https://developer.anscamobile.com/forum/2010/12/14/application-freezes-latest-corona-sdk

With the new release I’ve figured out the reason for these long load times. My build folder was inside my project, and it had accumulated 2.5 gb of builds. Deleting it fixed the long load times.

Since the older simulators did not take this long to load despite the project having a large folder in it, I’m posting it as a bug. I personally don’t really mind it now that I know how to get rid of it. [import]uid: 8145 topic_id: 5608 reply_id: 305608[/import]

Thanks for the report. But you should avoid putting anything in your project folder that you don’t want in your final binary build. Because it all gets compiled into your .app/.apk bundle, whether you want it or not.

Since I’m using a folder structure for my project source files, I never actually compile the code that I work with in the simulator (as folder structures are not supported for compiling). I use a preprocessor in Java that takes my folder structure, flattens it out, and copies it to a folder that I compile from. And the build folder doesn’t get there. This is probably the reason I didn’t catch this earlier :slight_smile: [import]uid: 8145 topic_id: 5608 reply_id: 19393[/import]
