Hi

WARNING !!! 7-Zip trims spaces in the @ file list.
Wildcards or filenames with spaces must be quoted!!!

You may lose files when compressing data with 7-Zip width file list %UF %WF!!!

ex @ list of files %UF %WF

Code: Select all

 Test\

You should be like that:

Code: Select all

" Test\"
" Image.jpg"

If you use 7-Zip as your ZIP packer, you will lose files whose names start with a space!!!!

Request to add file list %UFQ %WFQ with quotes

Why not turn to Igor Pavlov with this?
Although I don't see any problems on version 23.01. Which one do you have?

Just to clarify, when you configure 7zip as the packer in menu Configuration - Options - ZIP packer, then Total Commander automatically adds quotes around names with spaces. Files and directories with spaces at the start will be packed correctly.

The error is in the file lists %UL %UF %WL %WF generated by TC!!!!
There are no quotation marks in these lists!!!

I have configured the Zip Packer like this:
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zg.exe" -mcu=on
I works with all sort of files and dirs containing spaces and spaces on the beginning of names.

Using the Total7zip plugin there is also no problems with such names.

Finally, the following button creates archives with correct handling of spaces on all places.
It contains %UL as you can see.

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
