Changes
- Added ability to recompress a previously compressed folder
- this will force compress all files again with the newly selected algorithm (skipping already compressed files is planned)
- Add CompactGUI to explorer right-click menu
- (not the fancy new Windows 11 one unfortunately. That is much more work for some reason)
- Added options menu (most options do nothing yet)
- Improved analysing, now identifies what type of compression files have (for future use)
Fixes
- Fixed progress bar sometimes momentarily starting at 100% if a folder was recently uncompressed
Known issues
- If you've used the old Windows "Compress this folder" option in a folder's properties menu, CompactGUI cannot undo that yet. Disable that to make it work
- Compressing folders where files are actively in use will cause CompactGUI to crash.
Important!
Because this application now uses .NET 6, you have two choices of downloads:
CompactGUI.exe(3.1MB) RECOMMENDED- If you don't have the .NET 6 runtime installed when you try to run this, it will prompt you to download it from Microsoft
CompactGUI-Integrated.zip(150MB extracted) NOT RECOMMENDED- Includes all libraries required to run it completely standalone, however it's nearly 50x the size. I do recommend installing the .NET 6 runtime instead (which is itself only a 50MB download).
