unpacking .zip file

[Gary Feyereisen]

I am unable to unpack a .zip file.

Too bad.
I can't unpack a .zip file, too. Maybe ghisler can fix this bug.

@Gary: plz describe the problem more
Is the zip-file defect, passwort protected?
Perhaps icfu's Magic Ball can help you otherwise

Hi !
- The shortest and darkest posting I saw here for a long while !
1. Please, tell us what that ZIP file is.
2. Read The Fabulous Manuals (Help and Tutorial)
3. Some ZIPs made by WinZip 9.0 with encoding can pose problems…

Thanks for your comments. I have found a way to open this file (which opened with WinZip) by Files/Unpack specific files... command. I'm not sure why it wouldn't open yesterday.

Hi

I have a similar problem with the zip files generated byt the BackupForall application. Neither TC nor 7-ZIP can handle the files generated byt the application. Could you please extend TC's functionality in future to handle this situation?

I can send the problematic zip files if you wish.

Thanks

I would say, those zip files are not zip files after all. You should rather contact the developer of BackupForall, and inquire there about the format.

Actually, they are zip files - internal Xp archive wizard does handle them properly.

I already contacted the developer aswell.

Update: the latest version of 7-Zip - 4.29 works properly with the zip archive files generated by Backup4All. There is probably some problem with the zip format depacker in Total Commander, I guess.

From Backup4All webpage:

Compatibility
You can restore data using any standard zip software, Backup4all gives you this way more flexibility if you need to restore data on a different computer.

May you post a Zip created with Backup4all for testing ?

Works fine for using the encryption-enabled ZIP library.
The Total Commander districution doesn't contain any encryption stuff for legal reasons.
There is a free library which enables encryption stuff for ZIP files.
I couldn't find a download location, sorry. Maybe someone else has a link.
