Motivation
In #2749 I found out that C# compilers don't de-duplicate resources and thus the base64 encoded CKAN icon used in the window decorations is contained multiple times in the final binary.
We reduced it to only one occurrence in the main
Resources.resx
file.However, we also added a reference to the
ckan.ico
file, so the data nodeAppIcon
appeared twice inResources.resx
. I think I forgot to remove it after some testing.One of those two should be removed.
Change
For the sake of reducing the size and line count of
Resources.resx
and for consistency with other imported image files, I chose to delete the string representation of the icon.The .ico file reference works exactly as good as the base64 encoded icon included directly in the resource file in my testing.
