Total7zip

[karnin]

If using Total7zip with TotalCommander-8.01-32bit in Windows7-64bit, it allows only 2 threads of processing:

CPU has 6 cores/12 HT-threads. How to enable all of them for performance?

(7zip stand alone utilizes all 12 threads.)

Thx...

karnin, AFAIK LZMA method doesn't support more than 2 cores, but LZMA2 does (don't remember if Total7zip supports it but I think it should if your 7-Zip is able). You should get same restrictions with regular 7-Zip which Total7zip uses.

[karnin]

It' working
Choose LZMA2 in 7zip-configuration dialog on TotalCommander's packer menu.
Afterwards you can choose the usage of more than 2 cores, for example 12 on an i7-3930k cpu.

Wondering if it is possible to test a new 7z-archiv by default after compressing with Total7zip?
It is NOT a switch but a command: t

Any hint about that?

Works fine so far.
Tested under Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Thanks for your effort

Seem to work fine so far here too.

--------

I hadn't installed 7zip on my 64bit computer, so the plugin defaulted to English for the configuration dialog.

This registry key sets the language without having to install 7Zip:

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7-Zip]
"Lang"="xx"

Where "xx" is the two-letter code for your language - for example "da" for Danish.

Well, i have a small problem which it seems i can't solve. I'm using Win7x64SP1. I had installed the 32bit version of the plugin and now i've installed the 64bit version on top of the 32bit. When using TCx64, packing a file to 7zip works fine. Using TCx32 i get an "Error packing files!". Before installing the 64bit version, the 32bit worked fine.

When i saw this happening, i suspected what was going on so i did the following:

- Checked file "Total7zip.xml". I found it in 2 folders. 1 in the same location as my TC.ini and 2 inside the plugin installation folder. Both files have the following settings:

<path path_7z_dll="7z.dll" path_7zG_exe="7zG.exe" />
<path64bit path_7zG_exe="C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zG.exe" />

- I took files "7z.dll" and "7zG.exe" from the 32bit plugin zip file and placed them in the plugin installation folder. Restarted TC and i checked again. 64bit works fine, 32bit still the same error message.

- Changed the first line "<path path_7z_dll="7z.dll" path_7zG_exe="7zG.exe" />" of the xml to contain full paths, still the same problem.

What might be the problem? Perhaps something in TC's ini file?

Thank you! I fixed the 32-bit version and now both versions work.

Great! Now both work just fine. Thanks.

There is one small thing that might be a problem for a beginner.

TCx32: Trying to install the plugin by pressing enter on it, a message came up that 7z.dll and 7zg.exe were both in use and could not be overwritten.

TCx64: After installing it twice, the same message as above came up (for the (64\* files).

The workaround that i used was to install the plugin from TCx32, close it and then install it from TCx64. In both cases, i skipped the files that could not be overwritten.

This happens because the plugin is RARed so TC uses the plugin to unpack itself! Perhaps you shout start releasing it as a zip which is built-in to TC.

Also, i've noticed that when trying to rename a file inside a rar or a 7z archive, TC reports "function not supported". In http://www.7-zip.org/history.txt:

9.29 alpha 2012-09-07
-------------------------
- Command line version:
- new "rn" command to rename files in archive.

This would be a nice addition.

Hmmm... Maybe i spoke too soon? Trying to install 0.853 under WinXP (SP3 32bit), i get a "this is not a valid plugin" error when pressing OK in the associate window (7z extension). Funny, under Win7x64 and 32bit TC, it worked fine.

P.S. I should mention that:

1. I have a common INI and plugins folder for two machines (WinXP-SP3-x32 and Win7-SP1-64).

2. The Win7 works fine, under WinXP i get "error packing files" so i tried to reinstall the plugin and i got the error i describe above.

[Total7zip]

Great! Thanks!
I waited a long time for x64 version.

[CADweazle]

Had the same problem.... with the new version (0.8.5.4) it works again!

Thank you very much for an awesome plugin and the cyberspeed support.

Yes, now it's working fine.

Thanks.
