Xslimmer 1.5.3


About Xslimmer
Determines which code your machine needs and removes the rest. This is achieved by removing the code inside the universal binaries that does not fit with your machine’s architecture, a code that never gets executed and just wastes your disk space. In addition, Xslimmer eliminates unwanted application localizations. Normally you only use one or two of the languages in any app. Keep those and let Xslimmer eliminate the rest, recovering your precious disk space.

Here are some example savings seen by our users:
- Audio Hijack Pro 2.6.7, from 12.7Mb to 9.6Mb (3.1Mb, 24%)
- BBEdit 8.5, from 33.6Mb to 23.5Mb (10.1Mb, 30%)
- Google Earth 4, from 101Mb to 52.8Mb (48.2Mb, 47%)
- Photoshop CS3 Beta, from 246Mb to 144Mb (102Mb, 41%)
Your Mac, on a diet!

What’s New in this Version
- Xslimmer 1.5.3 eliminates the need to restart your system after having slimmed signed applications that access the Keychain, thus avoiding the problem of certain apps apparently forgetting their keychain-stored passwords until the next reboot. It also includes a fix for a potential crash that could happen when installing a license containing a malformed date format.
- Signed apps no longer seem to forget their keychain-stored passwords. When slimming signed applications that store passwords in the Keychain, they sometimes seemed to forget them until the next reboot. This was caused by the system caches becoming confused after the application files had been modified. The slim process has been reworked to avoid this effect, so the user should no longer need to reboot after slimming signed apps.
- Improved fidelity to original app file attributes. The slim process will try to replicate whenever possible the original file attributes, such as modification time stamps, of slimmed files.
