DiskSpan GUI

[LILU]

Hello. I use DiskSpan GUI 2.0.2.0 64 bit . After compression ( for example xtool:c32mb:t80p:mkraken+lolz:d35:mtt1:mt12:fba409 6:mc2) script (ISDone_Example.iss) does not unpack the archive (Error writing to disk). What and where should be thrown (files, folders) to unpack the archive correctly?

hello
I found a very small bug in the last release (64bit mode, I do not use 32bit)

If you start to compress then click on abord, then retry, diskpan can't restart
I need to exit and start again

(sometime during test, I do this kind of think several time to find the best compression method)

Best regards

I found the issue
It's when I use parallel tool, like mpz_mtx.
when I click on abort , there is some threads still running.
Because of that, temporay folder and archive are still in use.
So when I click on retry, diskspan can't delete conversion temporay file and make some error code.

I just need to check is there is no anymore process still runing...
was my bad

thanks !
best regards

I noticed this in version 2.0.1.7 and in the latest version (2.0.2.0).

Until the current version of the DiskSpan GUI, it is only possible to configure components when there are 2 or more GAMES tabs.
The components function was inherited from CIU in which each component is a game and is only validated if there are 2 or more games.
In other words, components are only used to create a collection of games.
For additional packages, use task settings.

In the next version of DSG it will be supported to use multiple components even if you only have a single game configured.

I did a test here using mpz_mtx with random files and everything seems to be ok...
See the test in the attached video.

This is because mtx using chunks to process data. Each chunk (x MB) needs to finish before anything else happens. The more chunks you have (x cpu threads) and how big the chunks are (x MB) the more time it takes.

One solution is to taskkill all mtx processes if click on "Abort" button.
