Snow_Cat Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 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.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow_Cat Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Thanks; I must admit to have missed that (contextually relevant) check box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
