How to configure piece properties? |
 GSplit lets you customize the way your pieces are built. Below you can find a description of each option available on the "Other Properties" page.
GSplit automatically adds extra information items to each piece file in addition to the data coming from the original source file. These extra information items are known as the header; they not only play the role of a signature (that allows GUnite & Self-Uniting programs to recognize piece files) but they also include characteristics about the piece set, the original file, etc... Now in some cases you may not want GSplit to add these headers to your piece files: for instance, if you wish to split very large text files into smaller ones in order to open them in applications like NotePad (without crashing your system). Server log files are a possible example. If you enable this option, GSplit won't add any extra information to the piece files. However please keep in mind that these piece files cannot be united again with GUnite or a Self-Uniting program (btw you can't create SFU programs if you enable this option), as these programs use headers in order to work. This behavior may be changed in future versions of GUnite however, depending on user feedback.
This option forces GSplit to reserve the specified amount on the first disk. Consequently it will adapt the first piece's size according the space available on the inserted disk. Why? you can use this option for example to add additional files to your disks like readme, etc... You must enter a positive integer (in bytes). If you do not want to reserve space, then enter 0.
Similar to the preceding option, this one forces GSplit to reserve the specified amount on each disk. Consequently it will adapt the piece's size according the space available on the inserted disk. You must enter a positive integer (in bytes). If you do not want to reserve space, then enter 0.
You can give a title to your piece set. The archive title is used by GSplit to identify selected pieces. It also appears on the dialog boxes of the Self-Uniting program (and in its version information).
Enter your name if you wish. Otherwise leave it blank.
Enter a description of your file if you wish. Otherwise leave it blank.
GSplit automatically assigns a GUID to each piece set it creates. This GUID is used to find out whether a piece file belongs to a given piece set or not. |
Do not add headers to piece files
