Changes
- UI overhaul - The existing UI with the animated transitions was getting really hard to manage, and I couldn't figure out how to squeeze some new features into it. So I've rewritten it entirely. It's less unique, and I'm not entirely a fan of the new design (in progress), but at least it's more functional. If you have suggestions on changes, please let me know
- Switched to
WPFUI
and uses a more standard navigation layout - Window can now be resized properly
- Switched to
- Folder Queue - Multiple folders can be selected for compression at a time
- Each folder can have different compression options
- Improved background watcher logic and environment checks
Fixes
- Watcher:
- Fixed a crash when adding an unsupported folder to the Watcher page
- Fixed details not updating in some situations
Known Issues
- If CompactGUI is run from the root of a directory, it will crash on launch. >> I have overwritten this release with a fixed version (version number unchanged), redownload if you have this issue
Installation
Binaries
CompactGUI.exe (10MB): Smaller size, but requires .NET 9 Runtime to be installed
CompactGUI.mono.exe (64MB): Fully self-contained and embeds the necessary .NET 9 libraries
WinGet
winget install CompactGUI
Note
Installing from WinGet
automatically installs .NET 9 if required, however it can often take a few days for new releases to become available.
