Doubt about compress files feature #115

Hello,

I have some doubts if the compress feature is working as expected.

I indeed have a TON of mods on my assetto corsa and as such I regularly use this feature. However today I was going through my pc cleaning some stuff and I use a program called TreeSize which allows me to see which folders do have the most data so I can prioritize.

The doubt I have comes from the issue that this program (and windows folder properties) detect that I have more than half a million files, when Compress Files feature only seems to find abou 160k.

Is it usual this difference? As I quite enjoy the idea of my assetto corsa only using 150gb, but in reality it's away more. The feature does seem to work fine on the files that it detects, and you will be able to see that uncompressed it would be at least double the current occupied space

The CM Compress tool does not compress everything.

It only selects KN5, DDS, and ksanim files (and a few others). This is the reason the file counts are different.

It also appears to be working fine, your AC installation is 1,237GB and is currently using 576GB of space on your disc, that's a saving of 661GB and matches the CM display of (154GB + 517GB) 671GB

If you need additional compression you can try the NTFS disc compression.
