Two problems (GUI crash + addition to white-list) #351

I use CompactGUI to compress dataset split data, mainly .tsv files (like csv but using tabs). It helps a lot and drops the size to 10% of the original. Thank you for this, really, it saves me a lot of hassle.

I encountered three problems:

  1. First time it works fine (I usually use the context menu on folders). If I do it again, it gives an error saying an instance is running. To use it again I have to exit it and right-click again. Actually, it should perhaps pop up the GUI with the new directory filled in.
  2. When I launch it freshly, I can move the GUI window. After a compress, when I try to move, the GUI crashes.
  3. I use *.tar.gz or *.tar.xz compression on datasets (usually AI folks are on Linux). I could not find a way to add these to the whitelist. Perhaps adding these .tar.* files to defaults might be more logical.

I could not find any related issues, perhaps I missed them. If I can help to debug, I'll be happy.

Thank you again, and eagerly waiting for a stable version.

In the meantime:

Problem 1 still exists. I use the context menu, and when I use it second time it complains. I have to open the GUI and select the directory there. No big thing for now...

So, I'm closing this...
