My apologies if this brings an inconvenience to you. The optimization of package size is just a first step. But, unfortunately, the amount of donations we get from community is not enough to fit this into our budget right now.Īnyway, we do everything within our possibilities to make OSX version better. Buying an OSX workstation (or MacBook) would allow us to do extensive testing and improvements of Synfig for OSX platform. Thus we only have limited capabilities on testing and improving OSX versiom. One of the reasons for this is that no one of Synfig developers have regular access to OSX workstation. I hope this explains topic about package size.įor years I try to use Synfig with every new version that sees daylight.
SYNFIG STUDIO FOR MAC MAC OS X
other Linux distributions, Mac OS X (requires Apples X11 environment. I think ripping off Python is not a good thing. Synfig Studio (formerly known as SINFG) is a free, Open Source 2D vector and. I can rip-off Python, but in this case OSX users will not have possibility to run Synfig Plugins unless they have Python available in their path. You can check the size of average python installation by checking its distros on official size. The package includes Python, which is required for running Synfig Plugins. But this will be done with next release (I prefer to do optimizations "one step at time").

I considering to drop support for 32bit, which will reduce size approximately by 100 Mb.

The package includes binary compatibility for both 64bit and 32bit system. Version is smaller (download size), but not as an mac os app (still 379 mb!). Synfig Studio, a free and open-source software for 2D animation, is designed to create film-quality animations using vector and bitmap artwork.
