merge images
Hi, would it be possible to have a function to merge images a bit like in Git? User 1 adds some files in a local tree like file 1 and 2 in directory A, user 2 adds other files in it's local tree (same structure) like file 3 and 4 in directory A. I would like to merge those 2 trees in one, to have fi...

Re: option for allowed character set
Sounds good. So if I understand correctly, extracting with "--windows-names --ignore-case --include-invalid-names" will extract all files with cleaned names? The long path and invalid unicode are ok. In the scenario I describe, those won't happen. And the long path problem can be solved pr...

Re: option for allowed character set
Hi, regarding chkdisk, create a file named "*" or ":" in a folder. On windows try to copy that folder in explorer (it will abort) or run chkdisk on the partition and it will delete that file. Regarding the smallest denominator, it's clearly windows explorer. This regex should wor...

Re: option for allowed character set
True. Then maybe just make the smallest denominator available. Like --charset=win_explorer so that at least the windows UI allows to copy/move/delete folders and chkdisk doesn't delete files when checking the file system?

option for allowed character set
Hi @synchronicity , the --include-invalid-names option is very helpful, but it's effect is different, depending on the OS one uses. And I couldn't find a way to ensure only legal characters when applying an image from Linux for a partition used under Windows. Would it be possible to either - have it...

Re: WinFSP - Mount potential?
My knowledge in this area is pretty limited. Synchronicity can give a much better answer here.
Maybe the best way would be to make the WinFSP coders aware of the features required for full Wimlib support and see if they can add the missing bits.

Re: WinFSP - Mount potential?
@misty However some features of NTFS are not supported by WinFSP https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp/blob/master/doc/NTFS-Compatibility.asciidoc . Most of the limitations could be avoided by writing a user-mode driver, but I'm not sure it would bring more than directly writing a driver from scratc...

Re: WinFSP - Mount potential?
That would be really helpful indeed. I hope it's really doable.

Re: unmount and commit in new wim file
I would add it to wimunmount personally. It would allow to see if another drive is required or not, based on the changes made while the archive was mounted. Often, I only know how much space was taken/freed only after I'm finished modifying. Regarding deleting files as they are added, it would certa...

unmount and commit in new wim file
Hi Synchronicity, when the hard drive containing the read-write mounted wim file is full, it would really help to be able to commit the changes in another wim file (on another drive). In this case, having the possibility to have it as a delta-wim for fast commit or as full standalone optimized versi...
