Good morning, i have some issue concerning the new version of IsArcEx.dll. I've made some tests, but anytime i have the "unknown compression method" popup.
Attached a link containing a .bin file and .iss file modified in order to try to decompress .bin file. Bin file has been compressed using DiskSpan and bcm mask.
Where's the problem? Thanks in advance.

In general, the situation is as follows

In general, the situation is as follows:

In the new version of IsArcEx, the parameter ISArcExReduceCalcAccuracy does not affect anything at all—at least not the FMX ProgressBar. You can set any values for it, and the progress bar simply ignores them.
The only parameter that visually affects the progress bar and its smoothness is ISArcExCallbackInterval, but the effect only becomes noticeable starting from a value of 55.

In general, the older version was better. There, it was enough to set:

Code:

ISArcExCallbackInterval(5);

ISArcExReduceCalcAccuracy(1);

and everything worked very smoothly.

I hope you can investigate this quickly.

I've added "ISArcExCallbackInterval(5);" instruction for the new version of IsArcEx.dll, but nothing changed.

Any solution? IsArcEx.dll v0.5 doesn't work on .bin files create by DiskSpan.

Good evening. In the third version of the attached image (the one with two blu bars), current time of playing song is always zero. I also think that a mute button would be very confortable. Is it easy to fix?

ISArcEx v0.5 — Update

ISArcEx v0.5 — Update 02 (LibOnly)

* Bug fixes only. No API changes.

Code:

 - Fixed: `ISArcExReduceCalcAccuracy` did not perform as expected in v0.5

   due to an internal architectural change introduced in this version.

   This has been corrected and the function now behaves as intended again.



 - Fixed: `ISArcExCallbackInterval` silently ignored some values,

   causing progress updates to appear sluggish or unresponsive regardless

   of the configured interval. The valid input range has been restored.



 - Fixed: State inconsistency where accuracy reduction settings could

   behave unpredictably across multiple init calls in the same session.

* Notes:

Code:

- Drop-in library replacement. No script-side changes required.

Hello, unfortunally IsArcEx.dll Update 2 is still not working with .bin files created with DiskSpan :(

As I understand it, ISArcEx knows which files were actually extracted, but Inno Setup itself does not receive this information. Because of that, when removing the extracted files, we have to delete the contents of the directories as a whole, and this can also remove files that were already there before the installation.

Would it be possible to add something like a log/list of the files that were actually extracted? For example, ISArcEx could write the paths of all successfully extracted files to a log, or provide a function that allows retrieving this list.

I don't really know how to organize the removal of only the files that were extracted by that particular installation, but I guess having such a list would be the first step toward solving this.
