Hi. I am a new potential convert from Evernote and have setup Joplin on my laptop (Windows 10, Joplin v. 1.7.11) and my Android. One of the reasons I am considering fully switching from Evernote (after over ten years) is that when I setup a new install of Evernote on a new laptop, the program was 857MB, significantly larger than on my other laptop. However, I am not sure if this is an issue with Evernote or my new computer, since the Joplin install is 866MB. This seems excessively large, so I am trying to understand if it is Joplin or my new laptop (a Lenovo X1). (Ideologically, I also prefer opensource projects, so it would be great to stick with Joplin.) Perhaps this is addressed elsewhere, but a search didn't find anything as the topic of program size and install come up with other, unrelated, issues. Thank you for any advice anyone has on this topic!
Welcome! One of the best features of Joplin is the friendly and helpful community here.
I asked a similar question a few days ago:
FWIW, my Win10 install is 442 MB.
To add to that, my install on Ubuntu is 139.8 MB.
@lcsamuel How are you measuring the size of Joplin? And where are you downloading it from?
Hi @CalebJohn , thank you for the quick response. I downloaded Joplin from the link on the main Joplin website (https://joplinapp.org, the link directs to https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/releases/download/v1.7.11/Joplin-Setup-1.7.11.exe). I am measuring it via the Apps & Features in Settings. I am not sure if a better way to measure the size. I don't think this includes the program/app's data stored within it but just the program itself (sorry, I know this is rough language, I am not sure of the exact terminology for the program vs the data usage of what the program itself stores). Thank you!
@whitewall thank you for the link! I am now thinking it might be as issue of my computer because the size of my Evernote (v 10.8.4) was also almost 3X what others are reporting. I am just not sure what Lenovo could possibly be doing to make it so large.
