Do extra images get included in the .iq file

Hello,

I could not find the answer in the documentation.

For easy access, I've been storing my screen captures in the same folder as my apps. Are these unused graphics being included in my compiled *app.iq file or is the system smart enough to ignore the unused resources? Their inclusion could be a significant increase in file size.

Thanks,

Jeff

I don't think the resource compiler will include any resource that's not explicitly referred to by an XML file, but you could always try it yourself: build with and without your extra images and compare the resulting IQ file sizes.

Also, an .iq file is actually just a zip file, so you can extract it and inspect the contents.
