Creation of large spanned archives is slow
-
thats completly different issue than original one, i noticed it was doing that, it was workaround as 2 days ago multivolumes were not working at all.

Agreed. At least it is making multi-volumes now, just not very optimally :).

especially on i7, where normal deflate is blazing through :-)

move it to new thread, closing this one, thanks!

err, closing old one :)

We will check progressbar issues, but currently the way spanned archives are created will not be changed in 11.50 for sure - they are generated in two steps - first in temp folder a complete zip is created and then that zip is spanned.
-
If the splitting wasn’t so slow, this may be tolerable, even with the double disk space issue, but Winzip, even single threaded, makes split zip’s much faster using the same source files as the new PA does, even with the benefit of an i7 cpu on the front end.
-
splitting itself is not slow, it is basically double action which is why it is slower than single action… its limited by the speed of hdd.
if it was done at once it would be much faster of course.

unfortunatly right now we can cry about it and make it prettier :).
Question is how much of MV are you using vs single archive to see how much the problem affects you.
-
we found some situations where there would be double the copying, and we made sure that does not happen now.
so it is still compressing and then splitting, but it might be faster for you now.
