<para>This function splits one (large) file up into multiple
|
|
smaller files so that they can be placed on smaller media
|
|
(⪚ zip-drives, ...) or sent by e-mail. The multiple
|
|
files can be combined again to recreate the original file.
|
|
&krusader; and &tcmd; split/combine
|
|
functions are compatible. To split a file choose
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">
|
|
<menuchoice>
|
|
<guimenu>File</guimenu>
|
|
<guimenuitem>Split</guimenuitem>
|
|
</menuchoice>
|
|
</emphasis>or
|
|
<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;
|
|
<keycap>P</keycap></keycombo> A Split dialog will open to confirm
|
|
the operation.</para>
|
|
<para>If the name of the original file is
|
|
<filename>foo</filename>, then the name of the smaller files will
|
|
be
|
|
<filename>foo.000 foo.001 foo.002</filename> &etc;
|
|
There is no theoretical limit in the number of smaller files, but
|
|
it is recommended to limit the number to a maximum of 1023 files.
|
|
&krusader; creates a
|
|
<filename>foo.crc</filename> file. This file contains the name,
|
|
size and the crc checksum of the original file. It is possible to
|
|
combine the file without the
|
|
<filename>foo.crc</filename> file but in this case
|
|
&krusader; cannot check if the the original file was
|
|
recreated correctly.</para>
|
|
<para>An example of a
|
|
<filename>foo.crc</filename> file:
|
|
<programlisting>filename=foo size=432998467868 crc32=21EB719A</programlisting></para>
|
|
<para>To combine the multiple files choose, select a partial file
|
|
|
|
<filename>foo.xxx</filename> and choose
|
|
<emphasis role="bold">
|
|
<menuchoice>
|
|
<guimenu>File</guimenu>
|
|
<guimenuitem>Combine files</guimenuitem>
|
|
</menuchoice>
|
|
</emphasis>or
|
|
<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;
|
|
<keycap>B</keycap></keycombo>. The target directory is the
|
|
unactive panel and can be changed. The file names must be
|
|
numbered in ascending order:
|
|
<filename>foo.001, foo.002, foo.003</filename> &etc; or
|
|
have letters in ascending order: ("
|
|
<userinput>
|
|
<command>split</command>
|
|
<option>-b</option>
|
|
</userinput>letter method")
|
|
<filename>fileaa, fileab, fileac</filename> &etc; If
|
|
the file
|
|
<filename>foo.crc</filename> is found in the same directory as the
|
|
partial files, &krusader; will use this file to check
|
|
the combined file for errors.</para>
