wimlib

You simply use wimexport to export the original wim to a file in your custom temp folder and then move the exported wim to overwrite the original wim I think you have misunderstood the discussion above. That does not do anything to change the fact that wimlib will only rebuild to update a wim or op...

With a public apology from reboot.pro for their systemic and wanton abuse of our ZIPmagic brand, most specifically I recall one guy called jaclaz or something; we'd be willing to do that. I have no idea who or what that is and can sympathize with brand abuse, but it doesn't sound like any of that's...

Thanks - I must not have actually tried only to the root when I saw that the subdirs didn't work. That at least means that it's workable for root and can be worked around pretty easy by creating a temporary symlink or junction if you want to specify subfolders under the VSS path. I do wonder why Win...

Success! The driver has been fixed and it works everywhere :) Now we're moving to our actual test cases, having verified that KEAs are being retained accurately. Great, once you do so, I would humbly ask that you see about making that driver open source so that it can benefit wimlib across-the-boar...

I was able to workaround by instead mounting the volumeshadowcopy as a drive and then using that with wimlib. However, this can bring its own set of issues as it typically then is subject to autorun and may launch Explorer as soon as the mount occurs unless you set various registry entries to disabl...

Unfortunately, I discovered that while this workaround does work for specific folders under a snapshot that's been mounted to a directory junction or symlink, it will not work if the VSS snapshot taken was for a full drive and you are wanting to compress everything in the snapshot (not a subfolder)....

Kernel EA's *ARE* something that wimlib absolutely should support. It is good to see this issue being discussed and that there's a sample solution that might work for wimlib, but everything would need to be open source here including the driver for it to be practically workable for many (and I assum...

I appreciate the reply, even if the answer is disappointing. I can likely workaround by generating *.ext exclude lines for each subfolder - just a bit of a pain is all. Thanks for your work with wimlib.

I must be super dense, but using wimlib-imagex, I do not understand how to do an exclude in [ExclusionList] to exclude say all *.txt files recursively under a certain directory (not ALL directories - I understand how to do that), like so: \MyFolder\*.txt Given that most everything else about wimlib'...

Thanks! Although I do think ideally wimlib-imagex should be able to handle such paths directly (other tools like 7-zip cmdline version can), this is a reasonable workaround. Appreciate the suggestion.
