Split files (.001, .002, etc.), request for The Unarchiver to handle the whole process #221

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

Hello,

Please consider modifying The Unarchiver to handle split files. I currently use 
both AJoiner and 
The Unarchiver. I would like to have one app complete the whole process of 
joining splits and 
then decompressing.

Thank you.

The Unarchiver should be able to handle at least some split archive formats 
already. 
Can you be more specific about what kinds of files you're having trouble with?

I just ran a test using MacHacha. I split a large pdf file using the HJSplit 
format. When The Unarchiver tried to join 
the split files I received the following message:  The contents of the file 
"[file name].pdf.001" can not be 
extracted with this program. I also tried a mov file that resulted in the same 
error message.

You can't currently join arbitrary files, but split zip files should work. What 
kind of files 
have you had problems with in practice?

Mostly arbitrary. I have had zip files but I can't say I tried using The 
Unarchiver to join the segments.

Well, after some thinking about it, I suppose it would be possible to add the 
possiblity 
to do this. I'll experiment a bit with it.

All right, implemented something.

Try it out once 2.3 is released, and if it doesn't work right, file some new 
bugs about it.
