Version 3.2.0

[Iridium-IO]

Sorry for the back-to-back releases today!

Bug Fixes:

• Fixes the program crashing when a selected folder contains subdirectories/files you don't have permission to access. The program closes when I try to compress the Program Files folder #395 CompactGUI crashing #401

New Features:

• Hovering over the Estimated Size region will now show an overview of all compression modes (and total number of user submissions) that contribute to the estimate. This way you can see exactly which compression mode is worth using for a given folder.

Known issues

• Watched folders will not play nice if you added a folder to the watchlist while in admin mode, and then went back to normal mode afterwards. It will still technically work, but the analysis will not be accurate (as it will skip over files it doesn't have permission to check)
• Clicking the Analyse button to check all the watched folders won't show any visual indication that it's doing anything until it is finished. It is actually working, but you just can't see anything. Feel free to spam click the button if it makes you feel better.

Note

Either of two things may happen in an upcoming release (I haven't decided yet)

• Upgrade to .NET 8 and continue to provide two separate binaries (one normal, and one monolithic)
• Continue on .NET 6 and stop providing the monolithic version.

I haven't decided whether to upgrade to .NET 8 for this project yet (I've done it for another project, PolyCut) but aside from AOT - which probably won't work- I'm not sure it would be of any real benefit for CompactGUI otherwise.

Important!

Because this application uses .NET 6, you have two choices of downloads:

• 
  • 2.76 MB: If you don't have the .NET 6 runtime installed when you try to run this, it will prompt you to download it from Microsoft
• 
  • 150 MB: Includes all libraries required to run it completely standalone, however it's nearly 50x the size. I do recommend installing the .NET 6 runtime instead (which is itself only a 50MB download).
