Changes
- Updated Settings menu
- You can now edit the list of poorly compressed filetypes
- Added checkboxes and 90% of the background code to enable skipping poorly compressed files both from local list (in options menu) as well as from user-submitted results.
- these options don't do anything yet but will show a preview of how many files could be skipped
- currently there are not enough user submissions for most games to build a skip list.
- This option will be enabled once I work out how to properly handle user submissions in the setting of files being skipped
- Right now, if a file extension is skipped then that file is considered poorly compressible and would be included when submitted; which would mean if someone skipped all their files, it would mark everything as poorly compressed which would harm the accuracy of the crowdsourced results significantly
- I could disable user submissions if it detects skipped files, but that would seriously stunt the number of results submitted
- Updated compression options to remove unused checkboxes
Fixes
- Fixed crash on startup when no internet connection is available #252
- Fixed crash when trying to compress files that are in use or inaccessible #250
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
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).
