![]() ![]() You can always copy of the following and paste it into your ~/.bash_aliases instead. Remember to change their aliases to match the lower compression levels. Modify the rest, in order, by removing the extra options and reducing the compression levels as you see below. Leave the first line as it is, as it already achieves the highest compression level possible. We started with the command that achieves the maximum compression possible so that instead of having to extend it with more elements, we can move backward, removing parameters and reducing the set values.īegin by copying the existing command five more times, placing each command in its own line. With solid compression, you can’t do the equivalent of “extracting a single file from a zip,” and you have to decompress the whole bundle to access its contents. They prolong the compression time and make it impossible to decompress independent files from the final bundle the compressor produces. ![]() The reason they exist as an option you can turn off is that they are useful but also come with two negatives. This means that p7zip will compress similar files as single chunks of data, achieving even better results. The higher their values, the greater the compression and the smaller the produced bundle.įinally, -mqs=on -ms=on defines that we want “solid” compression. Upload these files through the TUF website. mx=9 -myx=9 correspond to the level of compression and the “amount of effort” 7-Zip will put into analyzing the contents of the files to be compressed to find the best compression strategy. This will compress and create as many 2GB files as are needed to contain all the data in the large file. This usually yields the best compression for most file types. t7z -m0=lzma2 indicates that we want to create 7zip packages that primarily use the LZMA2 algorithm for file compression. The a following it means “we want to add files to a new compressed package.” -r indicates that p7zip should not be “constrained to the folder where it ran” but should include the final compressed package and all sub-folders in it, with all its contents. The reason we adopted this peculiar name for our command is because it’s easy to recall as a short version of “7zip compression level 5.”ħz is the compression command itself. 2 7-Zip has its own archive format called 7z, but can read and write several others. ![]() It is developed by Igor Pavlov and was first released in 1999. And the water near the sky is better than having sky* gardern* water*Īgain: the most pixel are similar in the sequence, the better.Alias 75= '7z a -r -t7z -m0=lzma2 -mx=9 -myx=9 -mqs=on -ms=on'Īlias 75 says we want to create the command “75” that we will use from now on to compress all files and folders in a directory into a packaged 7-Zip bundle. 7-Zip is a free and open-source file archiver, a utility used to place groups of files within compressed containers known as 'archives'. That's because the sky* are 3 photos with minor difference among them compared with the garden* full of green. You would surely have a better compression renaming the file name so that the subject order was garden1, garden2, garden3, sky1, sky2, sk圓, water1, water2, water3. Let's say you have a series of photos 1 to 9 with subjects snapped in this order: garden1, sky1, water1, garden2, water2, sky2, garden3, sk圓, water3. If you have a series of photos from your camera, they are quite surely already alfabetically sorted, but this doesn't automatically means they are well sorted for this purpose. The images were a series of backgrounds for websites sorted by pattern and by color. Just to highlight the result: I've compressed 900MB into 260MB! The compression is the maximum possibile when it's like having a video clip with little difference among frames. However the big deal, the real trick that makes a huge difference (when you can apply it) is sorting the images renaming their names of gathering them into directories so to have a sequence with the lesser graphic difference possibile amongst them. Jpg, png, and other kind of images are already compressed so there is tiny or no advantage at all in using a binary loseless compressor.Ĭompression Method: PPMD (instead of LZMA) ![]()
