File SplitterFile SplitterThis function splits one (large) file up into multiple
smaller files so that they can be placed on smaller media
(⪚ zip-drives, ...) or sent by e-mail. The multiple
files can be combined again to recreate the original file.
&krusader; and &tcmd; split/combine
functions are compatible. To split a file choose
FileSplitor
&Ctrl;
P A Split dialog will open to confirm
the operation.If the name of the original file is
foo, then the name of the smaller files will
be
foo.000 foo.001 foo.002 &etc;
There is no theoretical limit in the number of smaller files, but
it is recommended to limit the number to a maximum of 1023 files.
&krusader; creates a
foo.crc file. This file contains the name,
size and the crc checksum of the original file. It is possible to
combine the file without the
foo.crc file but in this case
&krusader; cannot check if the the original file was
recreated correctly.An example of a
foo.crc file:
filename=foo size=432998467868 crc32=21EB719ATo combine the multiple files choose, select a partial file
foo.xxx and choose
FileCombine filesor
&Ctrl;
B. The target directory is the
unactive panel and can be changed. The file names must be
numbered in ascending order:
foo.001, foo.002, foo.003 &etc; or
have letters in ascending order: ("
splitletter method")
fileaa, fileab, fileac &etc; If
the file
foo.crc is found in the same directory as the
partial files, &krusader; will use this file to check
the combined file for errors.
