Re: fund features
I think what we need to do is get every interested party together in funding new features, and set up a foundation. This is similar to the Outercurve Foundation that runs WiX, for example. I myself am paying for an arm64 port, but the work is very slow coming, and one developer has bailed out alread...

WIMLIB WIMBOOT Extraction with NTFS Compression Attribute
WIMLIB retains NTFS compression attributes and restores these attributes when applying a WIM image in WIMBOOT mode. As documented on this thread: https://wimlib.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=371 The current WIMLIB workflow for WIM image application in WIMBOOT mode leads to undesirable behavior:...

Re: wimlib 1.13.0 released
Looking at this from more of a performance perspective, a user may see that the file is NTFS compressed (when it is not) and desire to decompress it to increase performance (which actually results in decreased performance as well as wasted disk space - WIMBOOT compression does increase performance, ...

Re: wimlib 1.13.0 released
That seems like undesirable operation to me. As far as any user can tell, the files are reported to be NTFS compressed, when they are not. This certainly got me, and will surely get others too. Then requesting NTFS decompression leads to the same space waste problem I've described above. So with thi...

Re: ARM64 Support
Thank you for providing instructions on getting started.
I will be sure to take a look at it should I have the opportunity!

Re: wimlib 1.13.0 released
That's a remarkable workflow, I am happy to admit it never occurred to me that such a flow could even be theoretically possible. So what happens when the NTFS compression attribute is removed, say through File Explorer, before the file is modified? Then, is the file extracted by the operating system...

Re: wimlib 1.13.0 released
It would be great if there was a way to exclude NTFS compression attributes from a wimlib compression and/or extraction pass. Consider what happens when applying a WIM archive in WIMBOOT mode with NTFS compression enabled: 1) The file takes up space inside the WIM archive in tightly compressed form....

Re: ARM64 Support
May it be possible to contribute with a donation of ARM64 hardware? There's currently three decent ARM64 products in the market: ASUS Nova Go - This was the first to hit the stores and is my first (and only) ARM64 device as well. 8 core Snapdragon 835. 6 GB RAM. 128 GB SSD. Classic laptop form facto...

ARM64 Support
Now that Visual Studio 2017 15.9.3 has full ARM64 support, can we look forward to an ARM64 version of WIMLIB soon?
What are the roadblocks that would keep this from happening, is there anything we can do to help surmount them?
