    I don't remember if i asked you earlier:oops:
    Do you create AIO's with SmartVersion GUI or are you scripting the hole process?

    You have made SVF with source file outside of SVF. I mean, You do not have source file inside SVF, only delta patches.

    Mine is inside. I mean, my SVF have source file. And I did not recompressed to 192.

    And seems to me, Your SVF is something like this:

    A > B
    A > C
    A > D
    etc..

    Sometimes You can optimize Your SVF with:

    A > B > C

    Here, B is reference for C.

    Lets say, we have three files A, B and C. They are full files.

    A > B -> 40 MB of patch
    A > C -> 40 MB of patch

    Now is interesting:

    B > C -> 4 MB of patch

    If You use this inside SVF:

    A > B
    A > C

    then:

    40 MB + 40 MB = 80 MB of svf file

    If You use this inside SVF:

    A > B > C

    then:

    40 MB + 4 MB = 44 MB of svf file

    No. That is wrong.

    C expects B to be Reference file and cannot be at 4 MB, that should be a "complete file"
    A is delta of B and at 40 MB.

    :confused:

    Not wrong.

    I know why You "feel" that B have to be "full" or "complete" file, but no.

    Using patch delta as reference is completely normal for SMV. That is the beauty of SMV.

    Not directly, SMV make full temporary file in the background, so we can use patch delta as "reference".

    No.

    A -> Source file
    B -> Patch delta for "complete" file "B"
    C-> Patch delta for "complete" file "C"

    Anyway, I am already done here:

    Actually, I have to correct myself, to be more clearer:
    A -> Source file and "main" reference file
    B -> Patch delta for "complete" file "B" and "reference" for "complete" file "C"
    C-> Patch delta for "complete" file "C"

    There is no problem if You use exact version (left panel) and exact patch (right panel) for extraction, as I said earlier. This is something what we usually do.

    But if You try to extract file (or better, patch from right side/panel) which does not belong to exact version from left panel, mismatch happen if there are two or more files (or patches if this sound better) in the middle.

    Or maybe clearly, if there are two or more patches (or files) between first and last file in order and You try to extract them, but not from the exact version (left panel), mismatch happen.

    I just discovered that smv 3.82 was released. Can you please update install-smartversion so that the url reflects the new version?
    You just change "smartvs38_linux" to "smartvs382_linux". There are 3 instances in total.
    Thank you in advance and sorry for not opening the issue on github.
     
  17. will be done, check back later

    Thanks. No need to rush, 3.8 works fine too.
