Had a first round of testing with v0.4, nothing wrong to report: it's *really* fast, and convenient to use.
Any thought about a scanner to complement the rebuilder, Roman? It's the only thing I'd feel the need for, to check the rebuilt set for missing bits n pieces..
Thanks for your work!

Well, yes, a scanner is planned (as well as some kind of profiler/UI) but I haven't started it yet...currently I do some polishing on the rebuilder core which should be done pretty soon.....

Personally I'd privilege portability (Linux) over a GUI any day, but of course a GUI may help the less technically inclined.
I'm really looking forward to some kind of a scanner (sorry for being pushy), either as a separate tool or as a function of the existing rebuilder.
After that I can finally retire CMP for good, after "just" a few decades of honorable service :(
Thanks

Scanner will come (one day) and it will be commandline driven for a start.....but don't ask me when...time is limited as usual

No rush, the most important component is the rebuilder and it's working already.
The CMP scanner still does its job, so no rush at all  8)

Thank You Roman for this very handy and lightweight commandline utility!  8)
Oh, I really love the -m standalone switch!!!

Some suggestions:
  • parallelization
  • creation of complete sets only
  • cache
  • and last, but no least... Linux executable;D

## Future Plans / Source Availability

In this state of the project it is closed source, mainly due to the use of the
full version licence of ZipArchive.

There are definetly plans for the future to get open source. Currently there are
discussions about some licences (e.g. free version of ZipArchive is currently
GPL)

What about http://www.zlib.net/ or https://github.com/ctabin/libzippp ?

- parallelization? You don't want to have multiple threads treating your hd/ssd like crazy...ever tried to copy various bunch of files from one hd to another in multiple copy operations...it will crawl
- the purpose of the rebuilder is to generate matched files, not sets. Besides of that, it can happen that you examine a million files, and the "final complete" sets can be generated of ouf the first five files you scan and the last three ones...so...no...not the purpose of a rebuilder
- cache? in which context?
- later...when one day the source is out, somebody will be able to generate a native linux executable from it...
- ziplibrary has the advantage of a supported copy operation which can transfer single parts of the archive without recompression.....and I own a full licence :-)
