skipping slow copypng step?

Is there a way to skip the slow copypng step? I don’t think apple requires it, and its making my pngs actually larger (since texturepacker already optimizes them).

By “copypng” I mean the “Compressing/copying PNG … to …” step that takes at least half of the build time. [import]uid: 122310 topic_id: 29842 reply_id: 119640[/import]
