In thinking about this some more, I can understand why it is the way it is. When I normally think about Single-file EXE files, the first thing that comes to mind is "burn to CD/DVD" where space is normally not an issue. If you're burning to disc, you usually have space aplenty, so why not put the un-compressed images in the EXE and get the best image quality possible?Just happened to be that yesterday, I was hoping to email an EXE and was stopped by the 25 MB file size. In the future, it would be nice if the publish to EXE feature had an option to have the images compressed or leave them untouched.
