beta4: ZIPFROMLIST "-0" is annoying

[Eugensyl2]

TC11beta3
ZIPFROMLIST <archive name> <filelist>=-26;Pack files from list (supports parameters -m, -o, -c0-3 and 0-9)

TC11beta4
ZIPFROMLIST <archive name> <filelist>=-26;Pack files from list (supports parameters -m, -o, -c0-3 and -0-9)

I think the minus before 0 is annoying.
Maybe -0 ... -9 is ok if (-)minus sign is for parameters.

[petermad]

It corresponds to: -c0-3 = -c0...-c3

It was me who asked for the - before 0 - otherwise people might think they could just write 0 instead of -0 as parameter

I know that.
But (-) before zero for me is not ok.
If you want a better solution I suggest

ZIPFROMLIST <archive name> <filelist>=-26;Pack files from list (supports parameters -m, -o, -c0-3 and -0.. -9)
or
ZIPFROMLIST <archive name> <filelist>=-26;Pack files from list [supports parameters -m, -o, -c0-3 and -(0...9)]

The meaning is very simple: that you can choose between 0 to 9 compression rate an minus is just a separator of parameters.

Into Dialog box: Configuration - Change button bar now it is:
5. With the command ZIPFROMLIST, you can create a zip file from a list of files. The command field must contain the zip file name, and the parameters field the name of the list file. Alternatively, the zip file name may be put at the start of the parameters field, surrounded by double quotes "" if it contains a space. The list file must contain a list of files to be packed, one file per line (ANSI, UTF-16 or UTF-8, with byte order marker BOM). A parameter like %F may be used for the selected files in the active panel.
Supports the following parameters, put in front of the zip file name (only in the field 'Command'): -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

So, the parameter (compression rate) -0 .. -9 is very clear expose. Exactly what I aks: to be like into help file, witch is very clear. It's a must to have consistency.
BTW, I saw that into TOTALCMD.INC the parameter %F is not mentioned.

ZIPFROMLIST <archive name> <filelist>=-26;Pack files from list (supports parameters -m, -o, -c0-3 and -0.. -9)

That's OK with me, but then it should be:
ZIPFROMLIST <archive name> <filelist>=-26;Pack files from list (supports parameters -m, -o, -c0..-c3 and -0..-9)
to be consistent. (and without space after ..)

How about:

Code: Select all

ZIPFROMLIST <archive name> <filelist>=-26;Pack files from list (supports parameters -m, -o, -c[0-3] and -[0-9])

I'm ok with this.

Better!
Should be put also in Help file in the same manner.

How about simply
-c0..3 and -0..9

[AntonyD]

How about simply

but not more intuitively than it was before.
petermad made a really good suggestion again:

Code: Select all

-c0..-c3 and -0..-9

[ghisler(Author)]

OK, I can live with that.

[petermad]

Confirmed changed in TC 11.00b5

But in wcmd_deu.inc the line:
-26="Dateien aus Liste packen (unterstützt Parameter -m, -o, -c0..-c3 and -0..-9)"
should be:
-26="Dateien aus Liste packen (unterstützt Parameter -m, -o, -c0..-c3 und -0..-9)"

OK, German translation fixed, no need for a new bug report.
