> What's the difference between the compression of OS SHP and XCC Mixer?
Until the last beta version, it used to write all files only with compression 1. Yesterday I managed to make the program write shps with compression 3 correctly (at least aproven by XCC
), but I havent released it yet because I found out a bug when loading "unoptimized shps"... (Basically SHP files using compression 3 that would be smaller if they used compression 1, like cameos).> > this stuff, and whenever I used OS SHP I always ended up taking the (near) final shp, then using Mixer to convert to pcx and back to shp so I could get decent compression.
