Re: [Audacity-devel] Local help

[André P. <est...@gm...>]

"Is this a useful file in this context (local help)?  We could delete
it using the .bat file or not get it in the first place?"

I think favicon.ico is not relevant for a dump. It's easy to avoid it from
being downloaded.

The exception problem is already fixed. I'll remove *.ico files from the
script (if people think that it is relevant I can support them again easily)
and then commit the new version to the CVS repository.
