README
MultiPar
v1.3.3.6 is public
This is a minor update version.
If there is no serious problem or large change,
next version will be the last of v1.3.3 tree.
Because recent Nvidia GPU doesn't support 32-bit application,
I changed MultiPar's behavior not to check GPU property.
Thanks betagitman for reporting this issue.
On 64-bit Windows OS, users need to use par2j64.exe instead of par2j.exe for GPU acceleration.
MultiPar supports FLAC fingerprint (ffp).
as it was requested.
If you want to use FLAC Fingerprint on MultiPar, you need to put flac.exe and libFLAC.dll
in MultiPar folder or somewhere PATH variable environment (such like Windows/System32).
You can download them from FLAC official download page.
MultiPar shows misnamed or moved files at verification with .SFV and .MD5 checksum.
To search misnamed files, you need to change "Verification level" option to "Additional verification"
at "Verification and Repair options" on MultiPar Option window.
If recursive search is slow, you may check "Don't search subfolders" item.
My web-pages on vector.co.jp disappered at 2024 December 20.
Thanks Vector to support MultiPar for long time.
I use this GitHub page for MultiPar announcement.
