Well it is, IMO not a big problem considering all of it functions work well. Maybe the developer has other projects to work on. So yes, answering to your main question, the project is dead.

MHLoppy commented 8 months ago

My recollection of a discussion in a previous issue is that the dev has done some non-public work on it since the last public commit for what that's worth.

One-person dev teams have other responsibilities to attend to, so a period of inactivity doesn't necessarily mean no new work will ever occur (but of course that does sometimes happen with such projects).

Is there any actively maintained alternative?

I'm looking forward to the release of the final version

It's not "dead" per se, more like "comatose" lol.

I've had a busy year and this program does 90% of what it needs to do. It's running in the background on my own computer and has survived several Windows updates this year without breaking. A lot of the non-public work I had done was around trying to automate the compression in the background while the computer is idle - that was a mistake, it's complicated by the fact that Windows itself does a terrible job of determining when the computer is idle (ever had your CPU spin up to 100% just because Windows thought now is the perfect time to run its indexing service/scan for malware?)

I'll almost certainly come back to it at some point, just need to set aside some time to re-familiarise myself with the code.

pleasure to hear again

I would like to underline just one thing https://github.com/IridiumIO/CompactGUI/issues/356 alpha 5 works better

thank ImminentFate...I was one the person to ask for automatic recompression after compactui detected a percentage of the files in the folder is uncompressed. didn't related it was complicated and cause time wasted on the code.
