QuickPar is a computer program that uses the Reed-Solomon error correction algorithm for checking the integrity of a file or group of files.
It is often used to recover files that have been downloaded through Usenet.
Here are some key features of "QuickPar":
· When "AutoRepair" is ticked, Files that are missnamed or damaged (with all blocks available) will be repaired immediatly.
· The Options dialogue now includes checkboxes labelled "Repair Automatically" and "Monitor Automatically". These control the way the AutoRepair and Monitor Checkboxes in the verification window are set when you first open a PAR2 file.
· When creating PAR2 files, QuickPar can now create split versions of the source files. Source files will be split into sizes that are exact multiples of the block size.
· When creating PAR2 files or using them to repair, QuickPar will now ask for confirmation if you click the Stop button.
· When verifying, QuickPar should now automatically recognise incomplete versions of files created by yDec that end with "(nnn).tmp".
· When verifying files, it is now possible to right click on files in the file list to access the shell contect menu appropriate for that file. You can also double click a file to carry out the default action (which would normally be to open the file).
· After verifying files successfully (or repairing), it is now possible to create extra PAR2 files by clicking the Extra button. QuickPar will display the dialogue for creating PAR2 files but all settings except those to specify how many new recovery blocks you want will be disabled.
· After a succesfull Repair, QuickPar will now delete damaged and incomplete data files as well as the PAR2 files that are no longer required. QuickPar will always retain the small "index" PAR2 file. This feature may be configured via the Options dialogue.
What's New in This Release:
·
· A code change in 0.9 that resulted in slower operation for some users has been adjusted.
· Error messages in the verification window now have a tooltip to display the full error if it is long.
