Decompressing takes long time

[st-ivan]

Hi, i got Ubuntu running on a i7 with 16GB of ram machine and decompressing status takes long time to complete for big games (more than 2 GBs). In the same UBUNTU machine i got a Win10 machine running via VMware and it decompresses games faster. Is there any away i can speed the process up?

How to speed up decompression?

You might try manually decompressing with other tools.

1. Run QRookei in the command line (flatpak run io.github.glaumar.QRookie), the log contains the compressed file password.

2. You can find the games that have been downloaded but not yet decompressed in /home/glaumar/.var/app/io.github.glaumar.QRookie/cache/QRookie/ (by default, "Auto Clean Cache" is checked in the settings, and the compressed file will be deleted after decompression). Use the password obtained in the previous step to manually decompress them

In fact, the time it takes to manually decompress with Ark on my computer is about the same as using QRookie. There is indeed a lot of room for improvement in terms of CPU usage, but all QRookie can do is call external tools to decompress. Currently, it uses 7za, and perhaps other tools will be considered in the future

mabye add somekind of indicator for how far you already came from the full file being decompressed
example:

[===#############] 359mb/7.4GB

^ Obv this must be revisioned into the GUI format of the programm
