Mindscape Version: 3.2 pro and 3.3 pro (I have two different versions on two separate machines with VS2010 that I've tried) Scenario: Go to Mindscape Menu in VS2010 and Click "Web Workbench Settings..."
I am new to using the PRO version, and I'm hoping that its' just user error on my part. |

This is definitely not expected behaviour. Do you have any other extensions installed and roughly how many files are listed in the settings dialog?

It seems like the issue was that I had installed a package "Foundation 5 (for Sites) Core Sass files" via NuGet. The web workbench settings files seems to detect and compile all of these files even if I "uncheck" them before saving the settings file. My solutions was to uninstall the Foundation 5 package and download the foundation Sass files directly from the Foundation site. Chad |

I'm now running into this issue again with Web Workbench 3.4 under VS2010. I have exactly 179 files listed in the workbench settings file (scss, js, css). I only check minify-column for 3 of the CSS files (Everything else is unchecked). Now it takes 30 minutes or more to minify these files (Under Web Workbench 3.2 with VS2010 it took about 10-15 minutes). |

What was the time under 3.3 or have you moved from 3.2 to 3.4? There has been a lot of updates in the underlying Sass and Compass compilers which would naturally increase some of the compile times but a doubling in time does sound odd.

This is with the latest 3.4 version with VS2010. It in not the SCSS compilation time but the CSS "minification" / "compression" time that is really long. |

Can you send us through the files which are being minified so we can try and reproduce this? Can you also check if in a new isolated project with just these files they still exhibit the long minification time.

I created an empty project and it only took 2 minutes to minify the files. I've attached the files. Thank you for looking into this. The longer minification time only occurs with our larger more complicated project. |

Thanks for providing these, the long time to minify is just a reflection of the size of the files. We use the YUI compressor for CSS minification. I will have a look if there are any settings we can tweak (and then offer as options you can change) to reduce the time given a trade-off.
