<h3>Compatibility with QuickPar</h3>
|
|
<p> 
|
|
How to use is almost same as <a href="http://www.quickpar.org.uk/" target="_blank" title="http://www.quickpar.org.uk/">QuickPar</a>.
|
|
But there are some different behavior,
|
|
because the development environment and how to implement are different.
|
|
Moreover I added some useful features which QuickPar lacks;
|
|
such like supporting directory tree or preview before creation.
|
|
If you have a new idea, you may request by mail.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p> 
|
|
While QuickPar's default settings are optimized for UseNet, they are different from those of MultiPar.
|
|
If you want to set similar setting as QuickPar, you need to change the following items from default setting;<br>
|
|
On [GUI options] page, in [<a href="option2.htm#unit_size">Restrict block size to multiples of the unit</a>] section,<br> 
|
|
select "<b>For yEnc: 3,000 lines</b>".<br>
|
|
On [GUI options] page, in [<a href="option2.htm#block_allocation">Block allocating method</a>] section,<br> 
|
|
check "<b>Limit Block count up to: 3,000</b>" and set "<b>Block size: 384,000</b>".<br>
|
|
On [Client behavior] page, in [Creation options] section,<br> 
|
|
check "<b>Don't search subfolders</b>".<br>
|
|
On [Client behavior] page, in [Verification and Repair options] section,<br> 
|
|
select "<b>For 15 days</b>" at "<a href="option3.htm#reuse_result">Re-use verification result</a>".
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p> 
|
|
There are some different behavior between MultiPar and QuickPar.
|
|
Because MultiPar tries to select efficient block size to create PAR2 files,
|
|
initial block count may differ, even when the setting is same.
|
|
If you want "Recovery File Size: Variable (power of 2 sizing scheme)" in QuickPar,
|
|
select "Sizing scheme: Variable size" in MultiPar.
|
|
When you create additional recovery files against existing recovery set by "Extra",
|
|
QuickPar creates extra files without modifying original files,
|
|
but MultiPar re-creates all files by over-writing original files.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p> 
|
|
The biggest difference between MultiPar and QuickPar is the support of multi-languages.
|
|
While QuickPar saves non-ASCII filename by a system specific character encoding,
|
|
MultiPar saves by UTF-8.
|
|
Then, QuickPar cannot read non-ASCII filename correctly which was saved by MultiPar.
|
|
In PAR2 clients, MultiPar and <a href="https://github.com/Parchive/par2cmdline" target="_blank" title="https://github.com/Parchive/par2cmdline">par2cmdline</a> can support Unicode filename.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p> 
|
|
Because Peter Clements allowed me to use similer GUI with QuickPar,
|
|
I made MultiPar to treat Japanese filename.
|
|
I made English GUI for foreign users, who got failure in QuickPar.
|
|
When you have trouble using other PAR clients, MultiPar will help.
|
|
If you want to translate MultiPar's text or message, send mail to me.
|
|
MultiPar is used in many countries like;<br>
|
|
America, Belgium, China, Denmark, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Ukraina, and so on.

<h3>Short-cut keys</h3>
|
|
|
|
<dl><dt><b>
|
|
ALT-key
|
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
|
Some buttons have a character with under-line, like "<b><u>O</u></b>pen".
|
|
For those buttons, pushing "ALT-key" and [the under-lined character]-key at one time is same as clicking the button.
|
|
For example, "ALT+O" is same as clicking the "<u>O</u>pen" button.
|
|
</dd></dl>
|
|
|
|
<dl><dt><b>
|
|
F1-key
|
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
|
You may push "F1-key" to launch this Help.
|
|
There is "<b>Help</b>" button on About window, too.
|
|
</dd></dl>
|
|
|
|
<dl><dt><b>
|
|
F5-key
|
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
|
On Verify window, you may push "F5-key" to verify again newly.
|
|
</dd></dl>
|
|
|
|
<dl><dt><b>
|
|
Delete-key
|
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
|
While you are selecting some source files in file-list on Create window,
|
|
you may push "Delete-key" to remove the files from list.
|
|
This is same as pushing "Remove Files" button.
|
|
</dd></dl>
|
|
|
|
<dl><dt><b>
|
|
Page Up</b>, <b>Page Down</b>, <b>Home</b>, and <b>End -keys
|
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
|
While you are selecting a slider-bar of "Block Count" or "Redundancy" on Create window or Recreate window,
|
|
you may push these keys.
|
|
If you push "Page Up-key" or "Page Down-key", the slider moves largely.
|
|
It becomes minimum by pushing "Home-key", and becomes maximum by pushing "End-key".
|
|
</dd></dl>
|
|
|
|
<dl><dt><b>
|
|
Escape-key
|
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
|
While it is Creating, Verifying, Repairing, or Monitoring,
|
|
you may push "Escape-key" to cancel the process.
|
|
This is same as pushing "Cancel" button.
|
|
Because it requires some interval to interrupt a client actually,
|
|
you need to wait for a while until the result is shown.
|
|
</dd></dl>
|
|
|
|
<dl><dt><b>
|
|
Pause-key
|
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
|
While it is Creating, Verifying, or Repairing,
|
|
you may push "Pause-key" to pause or resume the process.
|
|
Pushing first time will pause the progress, and second time will resume it again.
|
|
Because it requires some interval to interrupt a client actually,
|
|
pushing the key multiple times quickly may fail to pause.
