Features

• Add support for argument completion in your shell with argcomplete if it is installed.
• Make --unmount accept multiple mount points to unmount.
• Add support for extended file attributes.
• Extract libfuse3 support into mfusepy, a fork of fusepy, and depend on it.
• Add --log-file option to write output to file when daemonized.

Performance

• Try backends in smarter order based on file suffix.

AppImages

The AppImages can be downloaded, made executable with chmod u+x *.AppImage, and executed directly to start ratarmount.

There are also usability helper for AppImages such as AppImageLauncher and AM.

If the AppImage is too slow to start up or to reduce memory overhead for the AppImage itself, the Appimage can also be manually unpacked and installed:

• Extract with ratarmount-*.AppImage --appimage-extract
• The extracted AppImage can be started by executing squashfs-root/AppRun.
• Rename and move the resulting generic squashfs-root folder wherever you want, e.g., /opt/ratarmount-<version>.
• Add a link to /opt/ratarmount-<version>/AppRun into some folder that is in your PATH variable, e.g., with: ln -s /opt/ratarmount-<version>/AppRun ~/.local/bin/ratarmount
