Search archives don't work with non-standard zip suffix .miz

[leedlt]

I have a large set of archives (containing folders and files) in zip format with the suffix .miz .
I would like to search through these archives for files contained therein.
TC opens the files without issue by double-click, select and <enter>, and select <Ctrl><PgDn>.
However, when I open Find Files <Alt><F7>, put a check in Search archives... unlimited depth, the .miz archives are not searched.
If I rename the suffixes to .zip and use the exact same search method, the archives ARE searched.

How can I get TC to search the .miz archives?

Add such a line under [Configuration] section of your WINCMD.INI file:

Code: Select all

SearchInFiles=*.miz

and restart TC

Many thanks for your reply, Gral.

Unfortunately, it doesn't allow searching thru .miz files.

It does. If it doesn't work for you, then you're doing something wrong.
Check whether you use proper ini file - open "Help" - "About Total Commander" window.
also check whether you have only one "SearchInFiles" key in ini.

And make sure that your SearchInFiles line is in the [Configuration] section of your wincmd.ini file - don't just add it to the end of the file.

Hi guys,

many thanks for your replies.

I just checked which 'wincmd.ini' file TC is using. I checked in it and 'SearchInFiles=' was missing.

Added 'SearchInFiles=*.miz' in the [Configuration] sections, restarted and ... YES, it works!!

No sure what I did wrong previously, but all is well now.

Many thanks again!!
