[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Fully automated cross-compiled Windows installer with GTK3 and x86_64 (#2592)

[elextr]

@eht16 just being devils advocate, not necessarily pushing for it as I am not a Windows user, but:

> On the contrary the installer size would be even bigger (not sure how much this is an issue nowadays).

Geany Windows download == 16Mbytes, Plugins Windows download == 36Mbytes, total 52Mb compared to say Vscode Windows download 62Mbytes, Eclipse hundreds of Mbytes, etc etc as you say I doubt its an issue :) 

> But it would increase the burden to make releases of Geany and Geany-Plugins independently of each other. 

When did that last happen? And only then when the obligatory windows last minute changes stuffed something up :)

>  Also it would make the build script and NSIS installer quite big and complex.

I can't comment on this, so ok, if its more than just catenating the scripts then thats a problem.

> So, I would keep Geany and G-P builds separated.

Ok, so we come back to discoverability, maybe the plugins should be immediately after the Windows download on https://www.geany.org/download/releases/
