[TC 11.50b1] ZIPFROMLIST for 7zip

[funkymonk]

It's great to have native 7zip support since TC 11.50b1! Thank you.

Now, it would be great if ZIPFROMLIST would support 7zip, too.
Either as a parameter to choose between zip/7zip or as a separate command.

A parameter would be logical so it would be possible to call all other packers e.g. rar, arj etc.

Even better...
(However, I don't really expect support for arbitrary packers in ZIPFROMLIST. In fact, I think it would be a lot of effort to support all ZFL parameters for all possible packers.)

The syntax of 7z allows making a button which also sets all desired parameters.
Nevertheless, I support the request to add 7zip to the ZIPFROMLIST.

I use a button like this to pack from a TC selection.
This can easily be changed to pack from a list by replacing the %UL with the path to the list.

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe"
a "%T%B"_%|$DATE:YMD_hm| @%UL -aoa -mmt -mx9 -ssw -stl -ssp -y
C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zFM.exe
Pack selected

You can also use cm_PackFiles instead of ZIPFROMLIST.

Can cm_PackFiles pack from a listfile?

Implementing for ZIPFROMLIST could be as simple at to use 7-Zip if the type of the stated archive is set to .7z

Can cm_PackFiles pack from a listfile?

No it can't - you could make a search and then feed the result to a panel before calling cm_PackFiles. ZIPFROMLIST would be useful, but the functions to do it aren't yet there, so it would take a while to implement.

That would be great!
