Feature req.: default parameters for other packer than ZIP

[Sheepdog]

Somtimes I use other packer than zip (mostly ARJ for I'm familiar to the command line switches). I wonder if it will be possible to save default switches and pass them over when packing format is selected.

E.g. I mostly use with arj the -jm -m switch for best compression and sometimes -jf to include drive letter. If I want a selfextracting archive I've only to append -je. Now I have always to apend these switches to the preset pack command.

It would be nice to have a section in wincmd.ini

Code: Select all

[packerdefaults]
arj -jm -m -je -jf
rar  -mmf -av -m5

to select the dafault switches for each packer upported dirctly from TC.

Hi Stefan !
• Good idea! But why not directly in the path ?

Code: Select all

[Packers]
ARJ=C:\compress\Arj32.exe -je

* Like for the buttons..

Why don't you just place them in packer configuration after executable like this:

RAR:
RAR Packer:

drive\path\rar.exe -av -m5

Or you just like to reinvent the bicycle?

S> rar -mmf -av -m5

What the hack is "-mmf"?

You can use rar.ini to store your favorite settings, e.g.:

____________transmission_from_rar.ini_____________

switches= -m5 -s -md4096 -t -rr -dh -ri1:10 -os -ow -isnd -ilog -ts2
