Removing textures included in atlas when building

[mamamia]

Hi,

I have noticed all textures I include in atlases are exported in the final executable too. Is there anyway to avoid this? File size is too much.

Thanks in advance.

If they are included, it is usually caused by one of two things:
1. You have the sprite collection in a directory called resources (even if it is a subdirectory under a resources directory)
2. You have a live reference to a tk2dSpriteCollection object (not a tk2dSpriteCollectionData) somewhere in your game.

Thanks a lot for this.

What was the issue on yours?

In 1.90, there is a clear warning when a sprite collection is in a resources directory - it won't let you edit a sprite collection until you move it out. If there are any textures in a resources directory, you are presented with a warning box before you start editing it.
Hopefully that will address those issues permanently.
