Open Split Image Files
If an image is too large or you are trying to meet size restrictions to store an image
(such as dividing image files to 600 MB segments to fit on multiple CDs), you can use
the features in RapiDeploy to split the image file into multiple files. When editing,
ImageExplorer keeps track of these split image files and prompts you to locate any
additional linked image files that are not stored in the same directory.
Find Missing Split Image Files
If multiple files from a split image are kept in different folders or on separate CDs, this
dialog appears to help you locate the missing split image files. Enter a path in the field
or browse to the missing files. ImageExplorer keeps track of all files in a split image and
prompts you for any missing split image files that are not located in the same folder.

remained the same since its release, but minor changes have been made to improve the
overall format structure.

current file format that RapiDeploy uses today. If the file format changes in future
