Just dropping in to say that I discovered the file size of HippoEdit.pdb went over 100MB. I think it is an excessive size, perhaps the file needs to be re-cycled on a size basis.   Also, it seems that HippoEdit starts faster once this file is removed.
PS: I am on ver. 1.50.709

Hi Arthur,

the pdb is so big because of the C++ templates expansion. I think so. Debug pdbs are even bigger :)
But in any case pdb files is not necessary, I placed in installer only for beta/development versions to get better call stack description in crash report.
If you fill it is faster without it, you can delete it. Fortunately I will have corresponding pdb in case you will get a crash (in case of using beta).
The installer, as far as I remember is "only" 15 mb size.

Do, not know really if existing pdb influence load speed... Theoretically should not.

Best regards,
Alex.
