Have an option to keep versions of Electron in zipped rather than unzipped form

Open ckerr opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Inspired by https://github.com/electron/fiddle/issues/638 and shares the same goal of saving disk space, but they're two different ideas that could both be implemented.

A zipped Electron release is about 40% the size of an unzipped one, and we have a lot of Electron versions. It would be nice if Fiddle had an option to keep the downloads in zipped form and then unzipped only as needed, e.g. when selecting a new version in the dropdown. Unzipping is fast.

IMO this would be best as a setting that users can opt out of. I know that @codebytere and I both use Fiddle as a de facto Electron version manager even when running code from the command line

Note, fiddle-core implements this. Now we just need to integrate fiddle-core into fiddle... :slightly_smiling_face:
