7z internal Packer and Add support for b1 unpacking

Post by *blazerman »

Hello mates

I loved this program on Trial,
So an intenal 7Z packer unpacker is the most convincing factor which should allow me to buy one for myself!

Passing on batton to plugins and external executables, is s strict no being in design and admin job, needs thousands of files to be 7z as thats the best compression method available in todays date.

Small addition @ghisler, Can u kindly add B1 unpacker support too

Wud rather love to use TC daily, just hope to have internal 7z Packer Unpacker soon or in next release which counts me in to get one Lic!

Cheers!

Why don't you use existing 7Z packer plugins? Have you read this topic?

And what is B1 and what is it known for?

B1 is free archiver.

It's free but not open source.

Web site tells that it is open-source, and there is a GitHub project... Though I don't really think that it will become popular more than 7Z, just like another bunch of formats that have appeared last years.

Funny VirusTotal results...

Anyway, if there is a console tool, it can be integrated with TC using MultiArc.

It looks correct. It's indeed a downloader. The B1FreeArchiver.exe starts the installation, but a) there's an option "I agree to send statistical data to make B1 better" enabled by default, and b) when you click "Install" it downloads 50 MB or so, and c) the uninstall is broken because the "installer.exe" is missing. Not so trustworthy IMO.
