Verify window

  When you start MultiPar by selecting a recovery file, this window opens and verification is started. You see which files are damaged or lost, and you can repair them if there is enough recovery data. If you want to verify again newly, push "F5-key". When multiple instances of MultiPar are running, it waits finish of another instance's task, and will start next.
Base directory and Browse button
  This directory is the folder where source files exist. If source files exist in a different folder from where recovery files exist, all source files are treated as lost. Then, you must select the folder by clicking "Browse" button, Drag & Drop a folder, or double-click the path box.
Creator and Comment
  "Creator" is a name of PAR client which was used to create the selected recovery file. When a comment is saved in the file, it is shown, too.

  On the file-list, recovery files are put on upper side, and source files are put on lower side. Because Size and Status of each file are shown, it is easy to know which is incomplete. Total size and number of total blocks are shown, too.

  After verification, the result like number of files on each status is shown. When source files are damaged or lost, you can know whether it is possible to repair or not. You may recognize the status easily by their icon color. [green file] indicates the file is complete. [yellow file] indicates the file is damaged or misnamed. [red file] indicates the file is missing. [yellow folder] indicates the folder exists. [red folder] indicates the folder is missing. Manually added external files are shown as [white file].


Display of progress
  Window title indicates which step now, and Progress bar indicates the current position in the step. Because there are some steps, bar moves sometimes until the whole process complete.
Meter of found blocks
  On the meter, each area represents the number of blocks by width; [green area] indicates available source blocks, [yellow area] indicates recoverable source blocks, [red area] indicates how many blocks are lacking. At a glance, you see how many blocks are lost, and you need how many blocks to repair.
Area of status text
  When you see an error message, the error is saved in log file. Double-click here, then "save" folder will be opened.
Time left
  This is a required time to finish. You may need to wait longer than this time, because the calculation is rough.

Add button
  By pushing this button or Drag&Drop files on list, you can add other files to be verified. If you want to add external files out of base directory or recovery file's directory, you need to add them by yourself. The list of added files will be reset by selecting a new recovery file or changing base directory. When you want to add all files under the base directory, you would better set "Verification level" to "Additional verification".
Pause or Resume button
  You may pause the process temporary by pushing "Pause" button. While pausing, you can resume the process at the point by pushing "Resume" button. You may push "Pause-key" to pause or resume, too.
Repair, Restore, Rename, or Verify button
  You push this button to start verify and repair if possible. The caption is varied by recovering beavior. When total repair is possible, it's "Repair". When easy correction and/or rejoin is possible, it's "Restore". When rename is possible, it's "Rename". When repair is impossible at all, it's "Verify".
Cancel button
  If you want to cancel the verification or repair, push "Cancel" button. You may push "Escape-key" to cancel, too.
Extra button
  If you want to create extra recovery files or recreate recovery files against the same set of source files in the current recovery file, push this to open Recreate window. Caution, newly created files will overwrite existing files of same name.

Open button
  If you want to open another recovery file to verify, push this to select which. If the selected file would not be recognized as a supported file, you should set proper file extension for the file type.
New button
  If you want to create new recovery files, push this to open Create window.
About button
  By pushing this, you can see version number on About window. You may launch this Help from there.

  If you want to change settings, push this, then Option window will appear.
