Two GUI tools not yet mentioned are GPar2 ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/parchive/files/ ) and, especially for those accustomed to the QuickPAR interface, Easy Par2 for KDE ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/ekpar2/ ). Both work well on most systems. I have come to prefer, by far, the more informative ekpar2. Depending upon your specific distro and configuration, pypar2 may run only once thereafter segfault; this happens on five systems here in the shop. I am unconvinced that par2 handling should ever be part of Pan internally. Make a tool, make it do a thing and do it well. Make the Swiss Army Knife the exception, not the rule ;-) _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
