wimlib

Yes, the property names are the XML element names. 'wiminfo' will format the information differently, but that's just to make it easier to read.

Currently, the best way to check for a file's existence is to use wimlib_iterate_dir_tree(). Pass in the image index, the path to the file, 0 for the flags, and a no-op callback. If it returns 0, then the file exists; if it returns WIMLIB_ERR_PATH_DOES_NOT_EXIST, then the file doesn't exist.

1) As some new file systems on linux had problems with automatic deduplication due to collision in checksums, I would like to know how far wimlib was tested? Did you or someone you know used it to create incremental backups of huge server file-systems? Or is there some theoretical proof that the sh...

@JFX Great to hear that you were able to build a working program! Does it obtain all its information from the registry, or are there other sources of information as well? With regards to your question: If you are referring to determining whether a file is, in fact, a WIM file, wimlib doesn't provide...

Hi, In wimlib v1.8.4-BETA1 (just posted) I have extended the ability to set information in the WIM file's XML document. There are two changes: 1.) The wimlib_{get,set}_image_property() API functions were updated to allow the use of bracketed indices such as "WINDOWS/LANGUAGES/LANGUAGE[2]"....

Hi, Those are all good ideas. But I think the most user friendly way would be to have the info set automatically when you create a WIM image, like what WIMGAPI does. I'll look into it more when I have time. wimlib_set_image_property() and wimlib_get_image_property() don't yet support multiple same-n...

No.

You could put custom information in the WIM file's XML document, either in the "image description" elements or in your own custom elements. The latest version of wimlib allows library users to set/get any information from the XML document they want. But the XML document is not in the file ...

Hi,

This is a known limitation; wimlib does not yet fill in Windows-specific information in the XML document.

You may, however, may use of the --flags argument to 'wimcapture' to set a value in the <FLAGS> element, which (I think) is all that WDS looks for.

- synchronicity

1.) You're welcome to try it, but I doubt that Microsoft's software supports it.
2.) Currently, I don't have any plans to add support for LZMA compression.
3.) I do not plan to add mount support for Windows. There is already mount support for Linux, however.
