alt Hacker NewsKudos, this is a really cool project (even if it might be AI generated), I have starred the repo, (3rd starrer here)
One thing I have been curious at is are there any ways to stop a rar compression mid way and then continue it later?
Like suppose I have a compression happening for a large file, then would there be a possibility with this project to shut down the computer mid compression and continue it after starting it again?
I would really love it if you can add this functionality!
Thanks!
I guess you could save the state to a file on SIGINT, flush what's been written and pick it back up again if the state file exists when you restart, and use the CRCs of the files to abort if things have changed. I don't fancy doing that for so many versions of RAR, but it would be a cool feature to add it to an `xz` fork. I like the idea.
