Introducing the new, better PAQCompress GUI

Introducing the new, better PAQCompress GUI

Hi everyone, I started this year being productive and have coded for the past couple of days, hence my absence of posts in this site. I’ve worked on updated a graphical user interface I wrote several years ago for the PAQ Compression software. At the time, I had limited skills writing code, and my GUIs were not that great. Hence, I took that software and rewrote it from scratch to provide a better user experience. I also updated the software…

Repository: https://github.com/moisespr123/cmix_gui Hi everyone, Today, I’m proud to announce the release of cmix_gui v1.1. This version makes an interesting change to the software, which brought some internal coding in order to make this work. The main feature here is that the Command Prompt window no longer shows with the cmix executable progress. Instead, all of the progress is now shown inside a Rich Text Box element and you can also save the “log” into a text file. Here’s how the English GUI…

Repository: https://github.com/moisespr123/cmix_gui Hi everyone, Yesterday, I introduced you to my graphical user interface cmix_gui, for the cmix compression software. Today, I continued working with cmix_gui and made 2 major improvements to it. File preprocessing v1.0r2 which I worked today morning adds support for the -s argument of cmix, which preprocesses a file using a dictionary (In this case, with the provided english.dic file). You can also throw a folder to the software and it will preprocess each file inside the folder and subfolders. Also note that…

Repository: https://github.com/moisespr123/cmix_gui Hi everyone, Today, I started working on a new GUI (Graphical User Interface) for another excellent compression software which works only on the command line. This compressor is called cmix and was created by Byron Knoll. It is also open source and released under the GPL license. This is what cmix looks under the command prompt: It’s very simple to use there. If you want to compress a file, you pass the -c parameter along with the input file and an output…
