Zipping multiple files into separate zips in background

[The Spirit]

I would like to have the possibility to move the zipping process in the background while zipping multiple file into separate zip files.
The current zip process stays on top and you must wait until it is finished.

Try: AlwaysPackInBackground=1 in your wincmd.ini

That works if ther is only one file, but when you mark 'create seperate archives, one per selected fiel/dir' it stays in front and can not be placed in the background.

Have exactly the same problem, using external Total7zip Version 0.8.5.3, when I compress a whole bunch of directories with not so many files, the PC turns out to be useless until it finishes all because Total7Zip keeps getting focus each time it passes to the next dir, that's about every 10 seconds for half an hour. It's VERY annoying.

isidro,
Say thanks to dumb Microsoft guys that removed focus stealing protection from Windows 7+... It is very annoying and it is related to all programs... Just start this simple stealing.bat file and try using any program... text editor, browser, try entering a password...

Code: Select all

@echo off
:again
ping 127.0.0.1 /n 2
start "" ping 127.0.0.1 /n 2
goto again
