1) Are there any limitations regarding number and/or size of files saved in the image?
2) A limit for the wim archive size other than the one of the file system it is saved on?

missing files
When some files are deleted during the archive creation process, it failes with exit code and leaves a big corrupt .wim data. Would it be possible to either skip the missing file, continue and give some warning at the end or just delete the broken file?

Re: capture wim compatible with windows7 setup.exe
I don't remember everything, but files in /program data, /windows/inf, /windows/system32 and /windows were modified. Why would inf or system32 datas be modified by a background service? I would understand for temp/log data, but for the rest... I know it's not libwim's fault, but strange. Note that i...

Re: capture wim compatible with windows7 setup.exe
After several week of test, the new snapshot option seems rocksolid. However, when doing 2 capture directly after each other, without doing anything parallel to it, the 2 one has about 80MB of changed datas. Note that even with those strange behavior, I didn't get any errors, bug or crash after seve...

Re: Comparision of --compact compression formats
I tried to add the driver. After copying the wof.sys (couldn't find a wofadk.sys) and adding the registry , I get an error that it is not signed and will be ignored. What do I do wrong? Is this wof.sys driver something else?

Re: capture wim compatible with windows7 setup.exe
Just to say that I used the new --snapshot option many times and it works like a charm with a winPE usb key :) It even works from a live system, the only thing is that it will warn on first boot that windows wasn't shut down properly. Makes happy to reinstall a clean windows in 5 minutes. For those ...

Re: extract all unique files
Would it be possible to at least give the possibility to pass the SHA1 key to the standard output when extracting? Then we could use it in bash/shell scripts.

Re: Comparision of --compact compression formats
In my experience, wim mounting doesn't require any space. I mounted a 10GB wim on a drive with 2Gb left and it worked. But I didn't try to access them, so it may be the reason why it worked. For the compact extraction, so there is no way to make it a file or folder attribute that can be inherited fr...

extract all unique files
Hi, When I create incremental backups, I create them in different images with the date as a name (like 08.01.2016). But sometime, I want to get all the different versions of a file. First version is in the image x and image x+1, version 2 in image x+3, version 3 in image x+4, x+5, x+6 and x+7. If I ...

specify rootdir of image in update mode
Hi,
How can I specify the root directory of a wim image when updating it? I tried the command "add dir1 .\" but it just creates a folder named ".\" at the root of the image. I also tried to let it blank, but wimlib refuses it and says it requires 2 arguments.
