Uncompressed extensions ignored

[rotbus197142]

I was running a backup of all my files and noticed the status reporting that it was compressing file types that are in my 'Uncompressed extensions' list.

I tested a batch of files with nothing in 'Uncompressed extensions' versus viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2295 and the archives were the same size.

Am I missing something or... ?

There are being stored uncompressed as you wished. But I think, this works only for the zip method. DOn't remember if this is sued in 7z as well, but perhaps not.

If they were being stored uncompressed then my test would have produced archives of different sizes.


You edited your reply while I was typing - I am using 7z. I will test again with Zip.

[rotbus197142]

So, it works for Zip but not 7z. Could that be fixed?

[cobian]

Not prioritized at all but yes, can be fixed.

[rotbus197142]

Groovy. 7z unusable for me without this.

I take it back - 'Uncompressed extensions' are being ignored by Zip as well (Compress files individually).

I tested by creating large txt files then changing extension to 7z or zip - they were compressed, which confirms what I'm seeing when the status shows CR slowly crunching on a 2GB MKV even though MKV is on the store list.

EDIT - 'Global monolithic' works as expected.

The problem is that only the extension need to be added. In the default list we finmd *.zip, but in reality it shouyld be .zip (without *).

Perhaps this is a bad import from the old Cobian Backup code. I will fix it so this will even work with individual compression.
