wimlib

Well, Windows is returning a strange error code which I haven't seen used in that situation. But I'm not able to reproduce the problem. Given a fresh Windows 10 Build 1703 installation, I tried capturing from the Windows PE included in the installation media, from an older Windows PE (Windows 7), an...

Ah, I should probably make wimlib-imagex print the version of wimlib it is using, in case it's not the same as the version of wimlib-imagex. (FYI: using a version of wimlib that is older than wimlib-imagex may work, but is not guaranteed to. Using a *newer* library with an older wimlib-imagex is def...

A WIM file can contain multiple images, each of which is a logically independent directory tree. The 'wimappend' command adds a new image. For an incremental backup you can just append an image that is named with a timestamp or datecode, then refer to it by name later. The --update-of option is also...

The way strings are converted between different encodings was improved in wimlib v1.10.0, but you're using an older version. Can you please try the latest version? You are definitely *not* using v1.12.0, because the error message quoted does not exist anymore.

There's no need for a "hash compare" option, since it's the default behavior. Just don't specify --update-of, and wimlib will hash every file rather than trying to optimize it by checking file timestamps and sizes.

Sorry, there's no way to do that currently. Just retry it from the start.

Do you mean that --depth=N would list the given path, plus N more levels underneath? What about an option to just list the immediate children, like the `ls` command?

There haven't been too many changes, but there hasn't been a release in a while so I've gone ahead and released wimlib 1.12.0. List of changes: * Fixed a bug that was causing the LZMS decompressor to be miscompiled with GCC 7 (this broke extracting "solid" archives). * The Windows 10 Recyc...

wimlib-imagex v1.12.0-BETA2 has a --quiet option now.

Also, if you're looking for more detail see write_pipable_wim() in src/write.c. There's a comment that explains the format changes that were made.
