TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
"C:\Program Files\WinRAR\winRar.exe"
a %P%O.rar @%WF

both work perfectly well. Many thanks for all the help
My mistake was also including Start path: "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\" and this seems to result in the attached errors.

I simplified my button a little bit, now it looks like this:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
"C:\Program Files\WinRAR\winRar.exe"
a -ep1 -os -m5 "%P%B".rar %S
C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe
Pack selected as RAR

Petermad's suggestion doesn't include nested sub-dirs when I select one dir

Petermad's suggestion doesn't include nested sub-dirs when I select one dir

That should be fixed in this version:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_PATH%\PACKERS\RAR\WinRAR.exe
a -r "%P%O.rar" @%WF
wcmicons.dll,30
Add selected files to RAR archive with name as file under cursor

Also corrected that the previous button did not work if there were spaces in the path to the rar file.

The benefit of using @%WF instead of %S is that there is a limit of 32767 characters to the length of the command line when using %S, so adding many files with long names could potentially be a problem.

BTW, I don't think -ep1 is necessary in Horst.Epp's button as long as %S is used - it is only necessary if %P%S is used.

Ok, this version is ok.
I like to have the archive name according to the source dir and stored into the target.

I now changed my version to the following button.

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
"C:\Program Files\WinRAR\winRar.exe"
a -r "%T%B.rar" @%WF
C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe
Pack selected as RAR into target

It can still be good to keep -m5 if you want maximum compression.

The default WinRAR compression is Best.
Nevertheless, I'll add -m5 to my button.
Thanks
