when you have components after creating data13.bin on next disk is data23.bin not data14.bin in records ini is data13.bin COMPONENT=9 / DISK=1,2 etc but in next disk is created Data23.bin

[andreiutzu21]

hey Cesar82 why is creating for components and tasks with extension 001
example when i have 2 components COMP1 is Data1.bin and for COMP2 is Data2.bin.001 and if COMP2 is splitted he creates in DISK 1 Data2.bin.001 and in DISK 2 Data2.bin.002 maybe is a problem or a bug beacause im renaming from [Data1a-o1.bin] to Data1.bin ? and if i have more components for example 10 components he creates like that Data1.bin / Data2.bin.001->->->-> Data9.bin.001 after Data9.bin.001 he makes ok Data10.bin / Data11.bin / Data12.bin and after Data13.bin when is splitting again he creates Data23.bin and when installer ask next disk he want data23.bin not 14 / 15 and so on

Sendme Dsg_settings.ini by pm to check it.

EDIT:
The file naming must contain the value "1" on the right which will be incremented in each slice.
If it does not contain "1", it is necessary to include ".001" so that the slice count is defined.
You can use Data1.bin, Data2.bin, ... Data11.bin, etc only if you use the UNLIMITED tab.

You can also use #a values to increment alphabetically like Data1#a.bin, Data2#a.bin, Data3#a.bin, ... Data10#a.bin, etc.

Hello! I'm have a problem, the data1.bin is not creating, I tried to change tab dvd5 to unlimited it changed to data1.bin from data1.bin.001 but the data1.bin is not creating, here's the summary

EDITED:

I figured it out, making data.bin files must be Ascending order

data1.bin (small files) to....... data4.bin (biggest file

UPDATE:

AFTER 2nd try, it skips the Data1.bin again

Data1 - include *exe *.dll
Data2 - include *.bundle
Data3 - Exclude *.exe *.dll *.bundle

3 data bin has same compression, but it skips data1 again, I tried the reverse it skips again

Nope it's not diskpangui the issue...

Here is more or less like you compress 0 bytes.

I take a fresh new copy of diskpangui.
write the same config as you

so restart with a fresh new copy of diskspangui
and tell me if it's ok

Your test files were very small (approximately 2 MB), so DSG obtains the size of Setup.dll, and only setupDLL must have exceeded the size defined for DISK1.

If possible, please send me the test files and the DSG_Settings.ini file from the Resources folder of your test, and also a screenshot of the sizes reported as DiskSize where your test failed.
