Description Sergey Zolotarev 2023-10-16 16:46:20 UTC
SUMMARY

Qt5WebEngineCore.pdb takes 1.4GB of space. It would be useful if there was an option to skip it (and other PDB files) during installation because it is not necessary for using KDevelop.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download kdevelop-5.6.2-1900-windows-cl-msvc2019-x86_64.exe
2. Choose Install for anyone using this computer
3. Choose destination folder
4. Choose install

OBSERVED RESULT

No screen to choose what components to install.

EXPECTED RESULT

An additional installation step to choose whether to skip installation of PDB files.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10
