Hi Synchronicity
First I want to thanks you for this fantastic tool.
I have been using wimlib-imagex since your first post on rebot.pro, recently I updated wimlib-imagex from v1.12 to v1.13 beta 5, and reading the documents found this new option --create for wimappend or append, at first seen its use seems perfectly clear, but as I frecuently use for my backups append --update-of and/or append --delta-from, some cuestions came to my mind:
1- Is it possible to use it together with append --update-of and/or append --delta-from? (I guess no if the referenced wim do not exist).
In case answer to my first question is Yes:
2 - Would command "%~dp0\wimlib-imagex" append --create C:\ F:\Backups\Win7x64.wim --update-of=D:\Backups\Win7x64.wim:-1 be right?
3 - Would command "%~dp0\wimlib-imagex" append --create C:\ F:\Backups\Win7x64.wim --delta-from=D:\Backups\Win7x64.wim be right?
Thanks in advance for your answer, and keep doing these fantastic work, now just for curiosity (no rush in any way) when are you planning to release final v1.13?, This Beta 5 looks good for RC, or you have some other changes on your mind and haven't commented on the forum?
Best Regards

Suggestion: merge capture and append into functionally identical commands

--delta-from will work as usual, since for that you need to specify a different WIM file. Similarly, --update-of will work as usual if a different WIM file is given. --update-of will not work if you specify the WIM file being created. But I suppose I can make it work in that case, by ignoring --update-of.1- Is it possible to use it together with append --update-of and/or append --delta-from? (I guess no if the referenced wim do not exist).
Those already work as-is, since you specified two different WIM files.2 - Would command "%~dp0\wimlib-imagex" append --create C:\ F:\Backups\Win7x64.wim --update-of=D:\Backups\Win7x64.wim:-1 be right?
3 - Would command "%~dp0\wimlib-imagex" append --create C:\ F:\Backups\Win7x64.wim --delta-from=D:\Backups\Win7x64.wim be right?
I don't have a specific release date planned. I probably won't make any other big changes, though.Thanks in advance for your answer, and keep doing these fantastic work, now just for curiosity (no rush in any way) when are you planning to release final v1.13?, This Beta 5 looks good for RC, or you have some other changes on your mind and haven't commented on the forum?

Thanks for your answer, After reading it, I made some tests using Append --create + --delta-from and Append --create + --update-of with a directory and all worked very fine.

I don't see a need to make this change, please keep it as it is now.--update-of will not work if you specify the WIM file being created. But I suppose I can make it work in that case, by ignoring --update-of.
