ZIPFROMLIST command: request for additional parameter to pack only relative paths to source dir

[DrShark]

Currently ZIPFROMLIST internal command packs the source paths as they are stored, except the drive letter, in the list which is passed to this command.
In the list, the absolute paths are stored, so if we're in c:\test\ with a file "name.ext" packing that file with a ZIPFROMLIST button, in the target archive the file "name.ext" will be inside of /test/ directory.
Since I rarely need upper directory tree in the file, as a workaround I currently use a subst command to make currrent TC's path as a root of a drive and then pack the files/dirs I need with ZIPFROMLIST command from that drive. This workaround requires additional actions each time when archive is created, so my suggestion is to add a parameter for ZIPFROMLIST command make it work more like Alt+F5 packing which stores only the paths relative to the source directory.

ZIPFROMLIST supports relative paths - relative to the location of the list file. The files will be packed with these relative paths only.

A command like this works perfectly to pack with relative path:

Code: Select all

[em_zipfromlist]
cmd=ZIPFROMLIST -o
param="%O.zip" %UF
menu=Pack selected items to archive with name as file under cursor - in same folder
button=wcmicons.dll,30

If you use %UL instead of %UF, then you will get full path in the archive.

Thanks, with %UF it works!
My changed button now:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
ZIPFROMLIST -10
"%O%E.zip" %UF
%COMMANDER_PATH%\TOTALCMD64.EXE,21
Pack ZIPX

I noticed that you used 10 for compression rate - and it works, even though the specification only mentions 9 as max value:

22.01.13 Added: Buttonbar command ZIPFROMLIST now supports parameters: -m move, -o overwrite without asking, -0 .. -9 compression rate, -c0 encrypt (zip20), -c1 AES128, -c2 AES192, -c3 AES256, -c0pass .. -c3pass encrypt with given password (32/64)

I will make a report about that.

Yes, I use rate 10 with ZIPFROMLIST when I need archive with higher compression, and with Alt+F5 I pack to ZIP with compression rate 9 when I need more compatible ZIP files.
