This information is now automatically set in newly captured WIM images, when appropriate. + Improved performance of directory tree scans on Windows. + + On Windows, to improve capture performance, wimlib now sometimes opens + files by inode number rather than by path.

This option lets you assign values to elements in a WIM file's XML document by name.
