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 extract each image, I'll get version 1 twice, version 2 once and version 3 4 times. Would it be possible to add an option, to extract all files from every image but only once and in all versions. So to say, for every sha-1, one file?

Re: extract all unique files
I don't have plans to implement this. It sounds like you want to quickly see the history of individual files, and wimlib isn't really the right tool for this.
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.
