The current DiskSpan GUI uses version 0.87 of XTOOL and this version will certainly be the version that will be maintained from now on because now XTool is no longer available to all users, and even if there is an update to XTool, only users with a paid account will be able to have it. access to it.
If a user wants to use a new version of XTool and wants to use it for themselves, as long as they know the changes to any xtool parameter, it can possibly be changed in DSG_Methods.ini to support new codecs, or parameters of the new xtool.
So far I don't think we have any more updates (DSG stays up to date with XTOOL)...
But if there is an update that requires changes that cannot be made directly in DSG_Methods.ini, send me the xtool.exe or send me the necessary information and I will include the DSG to support the new XTOOL functions/parameters.
As for your installer not to be full of compressors that will not be used, that's why DSG uses Setup.dll. If you only include the Setup.dll files in your installer it will only contain the files needed to unpack your game.
Setup.DLL only contains the files necessary to decompress the conversion that generated Setup.dll. If you try to use the same setup.dll with other methods that use other compressors, the extraction will fail.

Thanks for the info. I'll put the latest version of Xtool.exe in my installer. As for other compression method the idea is very simple, include only the files in the Script.iss, required for decompression. Then, there was a problem that I had to make an update in the script to import and extract the file. I even wrote a .bat for it, but things were getting complicated.
So that's why instead I kept all the files and imported based on the tool definition. The setup.dll merging with records.ini, I'm not aware of as I only do this part time and have lost track of updates long ago. If there's a video of your explanation, I'll surely watch and write code to enhance FMX even more. If our ideas align, maybe we can collab too.
