Recently I've been in the need of mounting images of some old CDs which don't work anymore. I found ImDisk Toolkit and I think it's awesome. Most of my files are ISO or even more ancient floppy images, but a couple are in BIN/CUE format, and ImDisk doesn't recognize them at all. They're in binary mode, 2352 bytes per sector. I've tried removing the extra bytes to have 2048 bytes sectors, but nothing. Tried to convert them to ISO with Open ISO converter, but nothing either. However the images are...
Reserving space to avoid defragmentation is a great new feature. Thanks a lot!
AFAIK 7Zip works the same as WinRar in that aspect. If the volumes were compressed as 'solid compression', you need to first decompress everything before, and if it has errors, then nothing after the error can be decompressed. If you can open volumes 002 and onwards, then it wasn't a solid archive. 7Zip does solid archives by default, so what you want can't be made; it would be the same as if you asked for WinRar to open volumes after the first even for solid archives.
Without looking at the source code, reserving file space doesn't involve actual writing, and depending on how you do it, it might not even involve writing to the file system until the file is closed. It's perfectly safe for SSD, so don't worry.
What do you use Freeplane for? Project design, knowledge and research collection. Which alternatives do you know? Xmind, FreeMind, CmapTools, Compendium, Visual Understanding Environment, Edraw Mind Map (only tested the free version), Mind Mup. Those are the ones I've tested, but I know some more that for one or another reason I thought weren't suited to my needs and didn't test them, like Docear and more. Which advantages does Freeplane have? Open source, lightweight, centered on mind maps, active...
I always found intriguing the concept of mindmapping, and I had Freeplane downloaded for some time. Finally, due to a new project I want to begin, I decided to try Freeplane. I have installed and used 1.5.20 for 2-3 hours, reading most of the tutorial, some of the wiki, and trying to find answers to urgent questions in this forum. With this I mean I've not toyed for 5 minutes and wrote all this in frustration. I tried to adapt to its limitations and learn how to do things. First of all, it's not...
Using 2.3.8 with english interface. The options 'Compare images inside one directory' and 'Compare images from one path of search with one another' are reversed. If you check the first but not the second, you get the functionality of the second, getting duplicates from different paths; if you check the second but not the first, you get duplicates only from the same folder. Other than that, this is an almost perfect program. I just wish it had a few more file management functions, like 'Move selected...
