File system optimization

[Snow_Cat]

I would like to be able to optimize my ISO images so that when there are multiple copies of the same file (or if sector-sized fragments of these files are identical) that the data only be stored once;

 

There are commercial products that may have this feature (gBurner/PowerISO, some other thing) however I am comfortable with ImgBurn; and it would be easier for others if they could open the disc and navigate natively instead of opening a 4 gig archive file (or if I kept up my backup and working directories seperate...)

 

I do realise that this type of 'optimization' would require a significant amount of time while sectors are indexed, analyzed, compared and file tables are mutated and the image rebuilt.

This feature already exists.

 

Tools -> Settings -> Build -> Page 1 -> Optimise Duplicate Files.

 

It works at file level, not sector level. (and that won't change I'm afraid)

Thanks;

I must admit to have missed that (contextually relevant) check box.
