IMPORTANT

Please submit your game and program results from within CompactGUI. Because of a bug in Windows, many larger games have vastly overestimated savings and the current Wiki is therefore inaccurate. I need new submissions to build up the database again so that the old one can be removed.

Changes

  • Major Backend Rework
    • Individually calls compact.exe per file
    • Removed dependency on compact.exe MUI tables for parsing. (Significantly slower, but allows the next point to exist)
    • Implemented workaround for the Windows bug that results in inflated savings for files >4GB.
    • Added a check to make sure files outside of the working directory cannot be compressed.
  • Skip Files that are Poorly Compressed - Implemented ability to skip poorly-compressable files (configurable from menu) - Mitigates the effects of the above changes
  • Added Wiki Submission Form - Simplifies the submission of results to Google Forms.
  • Many UI tweaks and changes

Fixes:

  • Multiple backend usability and performance changes.
  • Made output console always visible, tweaked refresh timings to negate performance impact.

Note:

This release removes all the MUI parsing which was previously required for users of many other languages. If you have any issues, please post an issue with details.
