Unable to rebuild multi CD release with single srr, but worked with individuals.

[Former user]

I was just able to rebuild a 3 CDs game (Close.Combat.First.to.Fight-HOODLUM) from 2005, but not with the single srr provided on the site. The problem is that CD1 was created with rar3.30 and the CD2-CD3 were created with rar3.11. To be able to rebuild I had to recreate srr for each individual CD as the SRR program STICK to rar3.30 when trying to rebuild CD2-CD3 and didn't try any other versions. Since most scene group who released multi CD\DVD were having different members to create those releases on different computers to save time the srr should be created for each individual CD\DVD or the program should try the other versions for the next CDs.

I don't care since I can recreate the individual srr, but for the normal user it involves many steps that most of them will never be able to perform. As a note, I had to create the individuals srr with the one provided on the site because I didn't have the original release(now I do).

I'm using the latest version (0.5.0.0).

As indicated at the srrdb issue tracker, these are two suggestions to solve this:

• Add an option to reconstruct a single folder/archive set
• Make the algorithm search again when the previous good rar version fails for a new archive set

The -f parameter can currently be used already to work around the problem.

Srr has the -m option now that can help with this:

    -m VOLUME, --volume=VOLUME
                        Specify a single RAR volume to reconstruct. Provide
                        the extension or file name. End name with * to trigger
                        entire subset reconstruction.
