Without knowing the specifics of what's being talked about, I guess it makes sense that zip did that because the OS doesn't make it easy for the average user to concatenate files, and it would be hard to concatenate 10+ files in the right order. If you have to use a cli then it's not really a solution for most people, nor is it something I want to have to do anyways.
The OS level solution might be a naming convention like "{filename}.{ext}.{n}" like "videos.zip.1" where you right-click it and choose "concatenate {n} files" and turns them into "{filename}.{ext}".
- justsomehnguy 2y ago> the OS doesn't make it easy for the average user to concatenate files Bwah! You are probably thinking too much GUI. X301 c:\Users\justsomehnguy>copy /? Copies one or more files to another location. COPY [/D] [/V] [/N] [/Y | /-Y] [/Z] [/L] [/A | /B ] source [/A | /B] [+ source [/A | /B] [+ ...]] [destination [/A | /B]] [skipped] To append files, specify a single file for destination, but multiple files for source (using wildcards or file1+file2+file3 format).
- thrdbndndn 2y agoTry to concatenate 1000 files with natural sorting names using `copy`. I did this regularly and I have to write a python script it make it easier. It's much easier to just right click any of the zip part files and let 7-zip to unzip it, and it will tell me if any part is missing or corrupt.
