[Request] View files being patched. dynamic update.[Option] #371

Closed SysVR closed 7 months ago

1.Display files being patched during the patching process in the patcher.

2.Open all target files from the program (without reading the contents, i.e., lock the files with the patcher to prevent editing), and as soon as the files are generated, move them to the original patch directory.

hpatchz not working with file by file ， it see all old files as one large data. so no cur old file, only have cur out file.
hpatchz can't open all old files, because system limited app opened file handles max count.

Option 1 displays the current output file name. Console Output: Extracting

Option 2, in folder diff mode, currently replaces files only after the generation of all files is complete. The proposed functionality is to replace files in the order they are generated.

: : Extract file1.dat Move file 1.dat to old path Extract file2.dat Move file 2.dat to old path : :

Replace files after all repairs have been finished, which is designed to be a safer rollback when an error.

thank you.

Currently, there seems to be no other way but to generate multiple patch files to do this.
