New MMBforums 3.0

It makes me super sad that the forum is there but I can't write anything. I have a question about the error handling for the CopyFile SysCommand. In case of error, can I catch the return code?

hhm, any updates on this?

I would be very happy if we could post in the MMB forum again. Can we somehow help with the spam problem?

Just because there was no post for a few weeks, the MMB forum was still very useful for us. I am now thinking about archiving everythi...

If compression/decompression takes too much time/is undesirable, then I would recommend an image format like WIM. Mount the image at runtime and unmount it again. This can all be automated. Of course, it depends on the Windows version. Otherwise, use a different image format and a tool that can moun...

Well, fragmentation is practically irrelevant with today's file systems and data carriers. With an SSD, it is of little interest. Above all, look at how some programmes come along - e.g. everything based on Electron or Java. Nothing is "packed" there. Besides, you don't pack photos or othe...
