The engine counts the bytes a copy, the pack or a resumed partial copy
supplied, and those the network brought. A transfer event carries both
after each progress event and once when the downloads end, so a screen
shows a download speed without guessing.
The walk no longer enters another drive mounted below the folder (it is
named instead), /proc, /sys, /dev or a Windows junction, and the root of
the system is refused. from_folder_problem() checks a folder without
reading it. A scanned event reports each folder read, cut short or not.
A file, ZIP member or folder below a --from folder that could not be
read was taken as no match. When its size is that of a file the run
still needs, or unknown, --check, --dry-run and an install now name it
with the reason, and an unreadable event carries it.
A copy that could not be read when it was copied was reported as a
folder not writable. The source is now opened first and its errors are
its own, and a download failing after it names both reasons. A run
reading a pack falls back to the pack, never to the network.
A missing file walked every archive of the BIOS folder and every file of
its size: 3,000 ZIPs and 3,000 missing files took 186 s, now under 1 s.
--from copies and the owner of a refused file use the same lookups.
The plan offers the folder browser, mounted cards first and ZIPs listed,
to add --from (Options adds a second one, Left takes it back), checks the
folder again and says how many files it holds and how many are left to
download. Misplaced files are counted with a Show list of their reasons,
and a local copy no longer counts in the download speed. The found event
test now holds that the interface reads it after a check and an install.
--from FOLDER (repeatable, a ZIP accepted) reads an old SD card, a
backup or a Downloads folder: files indexed by size, hashed only when
a size matches an entry, ZIP members included. Each file is copied,
checked again once written, and the source is never modified. Mac ._
files, system folders and links leading out of the folder are skipped.
An install also puts in place the files it finds misplaced in the BIOS
folder (bios/bios/, a pack extracted one level too deep, a name in
capitals, a ZIP never extracted, one folder up), leaving the user's
copy where it is. --check and --dry-run say what a run would copy.
Events gain one kind, found, sent before the copy, which a downloaded
event then reports. The end of the run says where each file came from.
