Compatibility

The application has been tested on these platforms:

  • Windows 10
  • Ubuntu (20.04)

Note, that it should work on newer versions of these operating systems as well if a compatible JRE is used, but it is not guaranteed. The same is true for different Linux distributions.

Quick Start

In order to quickly launch the application, run either of the following scripts:

  • run_gzipper.bat
  • run_gzipper.sh

On Linux-based systems, make sure that the script file is executable by running the following:

chmod +x run_gzipper.sh

You may want to alter the script to point to a different Java home directory.
The scripts assume that a compatible Java version is available in PATH.

If there is a JAVA_HOME environment variable set, then the script run_gzipper.bat may e.g. be altered to:

start /min PowerShell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden "& "$env:JAVA_HOME\bin\java" --module-path ..."

Command line arguments

--launch_mode

  • application
    • Default. Launches the entire application.
  • hashview
    • Launches hash (message digest) view only.

Attribution

For compression and decompression this application uses parts of the commons-compress library by Apache Foundation as well as 'XZ for Java' by Tukaani. Their source code and documentation can be found here:
