XTool 2020 (Main Project)

[elit]

Thank you for last update, it solved zstd crash for me.
Would it be possible for xtool to additionally print its version when run without parameters? So that it does not rely on file name.

Also, additionally to direct dll loading, I would suggest automatic multi lib query like this:
1_zstd.dll, 2_zstd.dll...
1_lz4.dll, 2_lz4.dll...
1_oodle.dll, 2_oodle.dll...

With those files in xtool directory, *all* of them would be loaded and then sequentially tried up to certain point.
For example at the beginning all compression variation on all dll's would be tried until at least 1 valid chunk is found. Then dll's without result would be discarded and if multiple exist with different size then those with lower size also discarded. Those with same size could still be used up to certain number of chunks in parallel unless either different size is produced or simply all but 1 are discarded in case all kept producing same size.

This way user can just put all different versions of libraries and forget about manual "query and try".

In case different versions use different API, another naming alternative would be agreed naming convention, for example zstd_v1.2.dll, lz4_v1.2.dll or any other, where xtool would be aware of that version(or version range) and which names of API functions specific dll use.
