User Reviews

  • I like it on several features, but dislike with relation to it can't uncompress tow or more compacted files at same time.
  • Works as a stand-alone file manager but the lack of windows file explorer shell integration in 64-bit systems is a real hindrance.
  • It appears to be a good tool but I am seeing unusual results in the files when decompressing lz4 files. On CSV files I am seeing string ,NULL, rather then ,, when there are no values and I am also seeing numbers in scientific notation rather than just numeric. I am comparing with an file decompressed using Python-Lz4 module.
