Hi everyone, Today, I have released v1.2 of FLAC GUI: This version adds Multi-Threaded encoding, meaning that each of your CPU threads will encode a file, significantly speeding up the encoding process. For example, if you have a folder with lots of music files and you have an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X CPU which has 16 threads, you’ll be encoding 16 music files at a time! This assuming that the folder contains 16 or more files. If the folder contains…
Hi everyone, Today, I’ve released FLAC GUI v1.1: This new version includes 2 options that will further improve the compression of the FLAC files. These options are: Exhaustive model search (-e flag in the flac.exe command line) Exhaustively search LP coeff quantization (-p flag in the flac.exe command line) By enabling these options in the GUI, you’ll save a few kb per FLAC files but the encoding time will be a little slower. If you don’t mind waiting a few…

Hi everyone, Today, I’d like to share the newest tool I’ve developed. It is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Dropbox’s new divANS compression software: The GUI is similar to the one in cmix_gui, which is another GUI I made for the cmix compression software. This tool allows you to compress files and folders and extract .divans files. The project has been developed in the Visual Basic .NET language using Visual Studio 2017. It is compatible with Windows 10. Compressing a file or folder…
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…
Hi everyone, Today, I’d like to share with you a Python script I wrote that enables file and folder compression using the latest version of the powerful PAQ8PX compression software. PAQ is a compression software originally developed by Matt Mahoney and released under the GPL license. It has a lot of contributors and has had lots of changes since it was originally introduced. PAQ8PX is one of the most powerful (and slowest) compression software that is actively under development. You…
