Feature Request: Adding File Description to Zip

[robinsiebler]

I add file descriptions to my files all the time (4NT rocks!). Since TC now supports file descriptions, it would be nice if it would copy the file description when a file that has one is zipped.

Not so long time ago but in a galaxy far, far away...

Black Dog:

I got used to automatic copy/move/del operations with comment files and sometimes just forget to select descript.ion to PACK it along with other files. The same thing happens with files unpacking. Christian, is it possible to add comments support for files pack/unpack operations?

Christian Ghisler:

This is difficult, because there are two ways to store comments:
1. Pack the descript.ion file
or
2. Many packers support the storing of comments in the archive headers, but not all unpack dlls support to unpack them...

Black Dog:

g> Pack the descript.ion file

Well, talking about PACKING IMHO it would be the best solution 'cause Commander do not support any archive headers comments operations now.

YES!!! Christian, it's a great idea to extract comments (if any exist) to file from archive headers automatically! Can you add this feature at least for supporting packers? AFAIK UnRAR.dll supports it.

To be continued, I guess...[/face]

First it would be nice to have at least positive answer from Christian %).[/face]
