ok so you don't care at all about the users, that's disappointing to hear only just to save 5 seconds writing the script to zip builds separately, and itch.io has API to upload releases btw, so you could save even more time if you wanted, but i doubt you want, seems you are fine with bloatware (i wouldn't mind if it was 2x 250kb like tilekit i mentioned in other comment, but here it's electron.. but that itself is an other problem, let's stick to the 2x download size issue for now)

> It shouldn’t affect anyone, except for some extra 30mb to download, which is… well, not that much imho.

selfishness

each 7zip is 50mb, so you waste 50mb shipping useless bloat

50mb for one user

let's say 100k people download your app

that's 5TB of bandwidth wasted, and it's 5TB of avoidable IO operation on people's SSDs

devs need to respect me and my PC

Maybe he didn't know about that? Maybe there is some other reason? Maybe he is open to this suggestion if it's delivered in a more civilized manner?

Yes, saving space is nice, but I really appreciate that he supports both versions - even if I personally would not use 32bit version. But thanks that its there!

Maybe you need to respect devs providing FOSS a little more?

The combined installer is perfectly economically reasonable. But if the solution to your annoyance would take "5 seconds" to implement as you describe - go submit the damn PR - you've spent many times that in condescending tirades in the comments here.

> devs need to respect me and my PC

Just the opposite - no one has less of a prerogative to support "problem users" than an open source developer. Were I the maintainer, I would not be inclined to support your request for it's own sake unless you were financially supporting the project or others also raised the issue.
