Total War WARHAMMER | XPress16K | 34.7 GB | 21.7 GB | 62.5%

Hey,

I just ran the tool on a folder and got this. Doesn't do anything for about an hour now.

I think I found the problem: In the file "Compact.vb" the process "MyProcess_OuputDataReceived" checks for english output lines. This obviously fails when compact.exe returns german lines, which may pose an issue on other languages, too. Not sure how localized most of them are.

The proper translations seem to be:

"total bytes of data are stored in" -> "Datenbytes insgesamt werden in %i Bytes gespeichert"  

"The compression ratio is" -> "Das Komprimierungsverh„ltnis ist" #note: "„" should be "ä"  

"directories were uncompressed" -> "waren nicht komprimiert" #probably a bad translation on MS' part here, if this is supposed to indicate the number of files that have just been uncompressed. German means "files that were not compressed"  

" Compressing files in" -> "Komprimieren der Dateien in"  

"[OK]" -> "[OK]" #no change here  

" are not compressed." -> "nicht komprimiert." #this will also trigger on the entry for "directories were uncompressed". Maybe move that entry into a nested if-condition here?  

" Listing " ->" Auflisten von "  

I'll try to fix this on my system and create a branch if I get it working. I haven't looked through the whole source to see if there's more checks for localized output. Also, I never worked with VB before >_>

To ultimately fix this and make it available on more languages, the string should probably be put into a database (XML or JSON?) and be loaded upon start of the program.
Getting the System Locale should be possible, although I've only done this in C# before and don't know how to do this in VB. Otherwise you can probably hack it together by checking the copyright notice in the output.

This did compress (226 MB saved) but very badly. Also took 5 hours on a fast machine with an SSD. I think the problem is the game has a lot of very small files.

Black Desert Online | XPress16K | 52GB | 52GB | 99.2%

Most files are in .paz format and compress algorythm ignores them. It compressed most of the normal files though ,saving 426MB by doing that.

Add a cancel button to cancel in progress compression without leaving behind processes.

If the window is closed while a compression is running, the compression child process is left running.

Please set background to white. I use dark theme, it's hard to read.

I've probably used a signed integer somewhere I shouldn't :/

• Compression will complete without issue. This is a purely cosmetic bug
• Compression overview will not show because of the error.

Are you able to implement a feature to estimate the amount of space gained between different levels of compression? That's mainly to understand whether it's worth doing it or not.
Obliviously it has to be quicker than running the normal compression with +-5% inaccuracy so we can have an idea of compression gained on a big folder.
I may be wrong but so far I've noticed speed mainly depends on the file size. The bigger the file, the longer it takes to compress. So I assume the analysis would be identical.

I would suggest that as soon as we click on uncompress, the button disappears, like compression. Else because the button remains visible, I tend to click twice on it because it's stuck at 0%. Hope that makes sense.

If possible update the Adobe Photoshop CC 2017 graph adding the graphs for XPRESS8K and LZX.

Currently I have compressed few games and I want to submit the result to the wiki so can you open the wiki or open a place to submit result?

When maximized or resized the window looks odd (see below).
It's possible to the text area be resize-able or automatically expands when resizing parent window?

So, this happened...

When I pick a folder which for some reason CompactGUI can't find, is begin compressing the folder it's in, instead of aborting the task.

Here I picked a folder and instead it started compressing Downloads folder it's in.

I think it would be better to use Google Sheets instead of the current Wiki table method, as posting all additions as their own issues isn't very efficient, and you are also relying heavily on users understanding how to format the tables properly themselves, and them not adding duplicate entries. Google Sheets would allow you to use formulas for size reduction calculations (both MB and %) to simplify what users need to add. It would also make sorting easier, especially for removing duplicate entries. You could either open it to fully public editing, or maybe add a second sheet for pending entries (so nobody can modify the proper entries). Rough example, using my library: https://i.imgur.com/mBBGFBd.png

I have a case where the original size/compressed size value was incorrect after compression and I wonder whether it's because it didn't compress all files or whether it stopped.

• Folder is 30GB. After compression it says: original size: 9GB, compressed 8GB.
• If I come back and run the check compression, I get proper values original: 30GB, compressed: 29GB.
• I uncompress the folder
• Run gain the compression again and same problem.

Looking at detail report, it says
2126 files within 218 directories were compressed.
9 319 215 229 total bytes of data are stored in 8 624 949 615 bytes.
The compression ratio is 1,1 to 1.

The actual folder is
32 359 424 574 bytes
10288 files and 801 directories.

So did it skipped files? If yes, it should mentioned in the report.
If not, there might be an issue... Thanks !

Error message at the end of each compression. Clicking OK doesn't seem to be doing anything. Compression seems to be working properly, just a .net arror.

Ran the compression a second time and same error but different string:

System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from string "723ÿ330" to type 'Long' is not valid. ---> System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

Ps: this tool is amazing ! Thanks a lot.
Would be great to have a decompression feature when selecting a compressed folder.

Amazing results.

Tried to uncompress the files using the command line: compact /u /s "folder" and it did not work for files compacted with compact GUI ? Also no ability to uncompress files using Compact GUI.

Make the detailed progress show the result in wiki friendly format so we can just copy and paste it :) Also would be good to include the compression used.
