Version 3.6

[Iridium-IO]

New Changes:

• Added option to choose how many threads are used when compressing (and decompressing). Setting this option to 0 will fallback to default settings (max threads = processor core count)
  • Additional option to always force HDDs to use a single thread (this can actually speed up performance significantly due to minimising seek times, and might reduce fragmentation)
  • All background compression now only uses a single thread to minimise use of system resources.

Fixes:

• Fixes Crashing on selecting steam games #469 - Thanks @AndrisBorbas!

Important!

Because this application uses .NET 8, you have two choices of downloads:

• 
  • 2.8 MB: If you don't have the .NET 8 runtime installed when you try to run this, it will prompt you to download it from Microsoft.
• 
  • 70 MB: Includes all libraries required to run it completely standalone, however it's nearly 25x the size. I do recommend installing the .NET 8 runtime instead.

Updating from .NET 8 to .NET 9 seems to have fixed the false positives (I have no idea why) so I've just released version 3.7 with that change :)
