You can change language of user interface.

"<b>Auto</b>" is default setting of PC.
|

Only when you want to use different language, select another.
|

This change will become enabled, when you start MultiPar next time.

You can change looks and size of characters.

Normally "<b>MS Shell Dlg 2</b>" is the standard font for dialog.
|
|
When you set another font at OS's graphic setting, the font may be shown in this list.
|
|
If you want to set your favorite font like "Arial",
|
|
write this line "<tt>FontName=Arial</tt>" under "<tt>[Option]</tt>" section on "<tt>MultiPar.ini</tt>" file directly.

If you use Windows Explorer, "<b>With kilo-bytes</b>" looks samely.

<h3>Supported media and sizes</h3>

<p> 
|

These contents are used for a list of "<b>Media</b>" on Create window.
|
|
In the edit box, you must put "<b>:</b>" between the media's name and size.
|
|
The name is left side, "<b>:</b>" is middle, and the size is right side.
|
|
The size must be value only, don't use comma or unit simbol like MB.
|
|
The max length of name is 18, and max size is 999999999999 (931 GB).

<h3>Restrict block size to multiples of the unit</h3>
|
|
<p> 
|
|
When you create PAR2 files, you may change the block allocation.
|
|
By setting an unit size of blocks,
|
|
the block size will become a multiple of the unit.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl><dt><b>
|
|
No restriction on the size
|
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
|
When you don't set unit, you will be able to change the block size freely.

|
</dd></dl>

<dl><dt><b>

|
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
|
You can set the unit as bytes directly.
|
|
By setting <b>Cluster size</b> of your saving drive,
|
|
you can verify and repair efficienctly.
|
|
For example, you would better set 2 KB for CD-R or DVD-R.
|
|
It may be from 4 KB to 64 KB for HDD,
|
|
or from 512-bytes to 4KB for USB memory.
|
|

|
|

|
<dl><dt><b>
|
|
For yEnc</b> or <b>For UUEncode
|
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
|
Only when you post the files on <b>UseNet</b>, you should set the unit as lines of the encoding.
|
|
Because the setting depends on your UseNet server,
|
|
you must follow the directions of the server.

<h3>Block allocating method</h3>
|
|
<p> 
|
|
When you select source files to create PAR2 files,
|
|
source blocks are allocated for the files.
|
|
By this option, you can change the method of how to allocate blocks.
|
|
Everytime you add or remove files, blocks will be allocated by the selected method automatically.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl><dt><b>
|
|
Limit Block count up to
|
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
|
As there are many blocks, creation will require more time.
|
|
If you want to limit the number of blocks, set the max block count and check this.
|
|
Be careful not to set too few blocks,
|
|
because large block size will be inefficient to recover small damages.
|
|
In the era of CD or DVD, par2cmdline sets 2,000 blocks and QuickPar sets 3,000 blocks.
|
|
</dd></dl>
|
|
|
|
<dl><dt><b>
|
|
Rate (count / size)
|
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
|
This rate is block count divided by block size.
|
|
For example, setting "1%" for 10,000-bytes block size gives 100 blocks,
|
|
as "<tt>100 blocks / 10000-bytes = 0.01 = 1%</tt>".
|
|
This calculation method is ideal for widely varied data size.
|
|
As total data size becomes large, more blocks will be allocated, but the change is mild.
|
|
</dd></dl>
|
|
|
|
<dl><dt><b>
|
|
Block size
|
|
</b></dt><dd> 
|
|
You may set preferred block size.
|
|
When you set unit size, resulting block size will be adjusted.
|
|
If you treat similar data size usually, this calculation method may be good.
|
|
Be careful about the result of too few or too many blocks.
|
|
</dd></dl>
|
|
|
|
<p> 
|
|
Because MultiPar tries to find efficient allocation by adjusting block size,
|
|
the result may be different from your specified value.
|
|
If you want to get a specific block size always,
|
|
set "Block size" here, and select "No restriction on the size" on <a href="option2.htm#unit_size">above section</a>.
|
|
If you want to allocate blocks like QuickPar,
|
|
you need to check "Limit Block count up to" and set "Block size".
|
|
