Moving/Copying files between images.

Hi, I wonder if it's possible to move or copy a file from one image index to another
without extracting and than recompressing that file.

If that possible, could it be done between multiple wim files
that have the same compression, too?

Reason I'm asking this is the way we create our custom WinPE.
First extracting files from install.wim and than adding these files to boot.wim

Hi,

This isn't possible, currently. You can update a single image, or export a whole image from one WIM file to another, but you can't export individual files or directories from one image to another.

There is a hack possible that would avoid recompression, but not the need to extract and recapture the files. I suggest you just keep using your current approach for now.
