I have been using zip files to transfer my projects between my recording studio PC and laptop, because they group everything together and the files are big too when their are multiple lines of recordings. However, saving zip files can take a long time and i checked and found that it was all done on one thread or core (obviously moved around the cores by the processor for temperature management).
Can this be parallelised to speed it up? Even my laptop has six cores (twelve threads) so this could be reduced in time considerably.
I also want to start archiving projects (if I ever finish anything
) and this would be the best way to ensure that everything was saved - I know that I would have to convert all the lines to audio in an archive too, in case the plugin wasn't available / didn't work in the future).So, (sorry for such a long post) please parallelise the zip saving.
