Split and Combine files

  • Tools > Split to.../Combine to...
  • and toolbar icons

ForkLift is capable of splitting large files into smaller fragments of defined size, and can later recombine these fragments into the original file. ForkLift uses a method compatible with that used by Total Commander, and can handle the fragments created with it.


To split a file into smaller fragments:

  1. select the file in one panel
  2. choose Tools > Split to... menu item
  3. in the popup dialogue, you can define the size of the resulting fragments using one of the size presets (CD-R 74 min, CD-R 80 min, single layer and double layer DVDs)
  4. or by setting a custom size.
  5. file fragments are accompanied by a small ID file (the checksum) that you need to keep with the fragments. You can choose which standard checksum format to use: CRC or SFV. Both file formats are also supported by Total Commander.
  6. Click OK.
  7. the split fragments will be copied to the opposite pane.


It is very important to keep the CRC or SFV checksum file with the file fragments - you will need it to recombine the fragments into a single file again.


To combine spit file fragments:

  1. select the file with the CRC or SFV extension
  2. choose Tools > Combine to menu item
  3. the recombined file will be copied to the opposite pane.
