DokanPbo can be used to create a virtual "P drive" without ever unpacking PBO's or wasting disk space.

It can directly mount the folder structure inside the PBO as a Directory or Drive.

• Install Dokan
• Compile and install DokanPbo using Visual Studio or other .NET Framework capable compiler
  • Requires at least .NET Framework 4.7.2!

Run DokanPbo from the command line.

-f, --folders    Required. Directories with PBO files to mount.
-o, --output     Required. Drive or directory where to mount.
--prefix         Prefix used to filter PBO paths.
--excludePrefix  Prefix used to exclude PBO files.
-u, --unmount    Drive or directory to unmount.
--help           Display this help screen.

--prefix is a inclusion filter. Everything that doesn't match is ignored. --excludePrefix is a exclusion filter. Everything that matches it is ignored. --excludePrefix \z\ace ignores all files out of PBO's that would be in the \z\ace path. The starting \ is important.

Example

DokanPbo -f "<Armapath>\addons" "<Armapath>\Heli\addons" "<Armapath>\Expansion\addons" "<Armapath>\@CBA_A3\addons" -o P:

This example will create a new virtual disk drive on letter P.
