[Minor] No GB for split files

Post by *Egh »

Apparently split function doesn't understands GB unit.

I tried using 4GB (to split huge iso file over two dvds) and it said 999 split files is too many :)

Indeed it supports only bytes, kBytes and MBytes, because GB unit is too unprecise. use 4096 M or so.

But I think it is not so hard to add this unit :)
Sometimes GB is needed (if you need to specify size in GBs and not in milliards of bytes).

Also I think you should add 2048 MB (max file size for single-layer DVD using ISO file system) and 4482 MB (max file size for single-layer DVD using UDF file system) to standard sizes.

It is up to you.
Just enter each value manually. TC will store it and offer it on the list next time you use it.

Yes, I know it. But 700 MB is in permanent list:)
2048 MB and 4482 MB are more frequently used today than 700 MB, so I think they should be added into permanent list.

Agreed. Don't recall when it was the last time I burned a CDR. However splitting some huge files across two dvds happens from time to time.
