Help with TC button parameter for WINRAR

[leo007]

Hi all,
I found a useful WINRAR TC button parameter command to extract Archive HERE:

Code: Select all

x %P%N "%P"

viewtopic.php?t=22677

now I'm looking for WINRAR TC button parameter command that adds selected files to archive HERE.
it replicates the functionality of WINRAR context menu "Add to <archive name>".

Could be great if anyone could help
Many thanks for help in advance

Do you want to unpack the file? You can use cm_UnpackFiles.

Code: Select all

cmd=cm_UnpackFiles
param=/T="D:\path123\" /W="" /G

This is the command I use, it can select the file and unpack it to the specified path.
D:\path123\, change it to the path you want.

You can use these parameters:

Code: Select all

a %P%O.rar @%WF

It will add selected files to a rar file with the name as the file under the cursor. If the rar file already exist, place the cursor on it. If the rar file does not exist place the cursor on a file with the name you want to give the rar file. If you place the cursor on [..] you wil get a file with the name .rar

I use this button

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
"C:\Program Files\WinRAR\winRar.exe"
a  -os -m5 -tl -ag"_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" "%T\%B".rar @%UL
C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe
Pack selected as RAR (full paths)

thank you for the code, but I was looking for opposite action "adds selected files to archive HERE"

a %P%O.rar @%WF

thanks for the code, When I try to run it with the attached parameter, I get the following WINRAR error:

2@Horst.Epp

a -os -m5 -tl -ag"_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" "%T\%B".rar @%UL

thank you for the code, it adds selected files to archive, but unfortunately like TC cm_PackFiles archive will appear in second panel and not Here (current panel location)

That's easy to fix
Replace %T with %P

2Horst.Epp one thing, when I add to archive file "item.txt"
d:\Downloads\Folder A\item.txt

it adds the whole root folder tree structure to the archive Along with the file,
d:\Downloads\Folder A_20241108175147.rar\Downloads\Folder A\item.txt

How can it be modified so that only the selected file is added to the archive without root folder tree structure ?

Replace the @%UL with %S and add -ep1 on the line.
So it looks like this
a -ep1 -os -m5 -tl -ag"_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" "%P\%B".rar %S

[leo007]

by replacing the @%UL with %S I have the following error

the parameter line now is: a -ep1 -os -m5 -tl -ag"_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" "%P\%B".rar %S
Did I write anything incorrectly?

[sqa_wizard]

Well you have a double backslash "\\"

Try: a -ep1 -os -m5 -tl -ag"_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" "%P%B".rar %S

It looks like you are inside test.rar when you use the command - you have to place the cursor ON test.rar but NOT press Enter to go into it. And you have to mark some files.

Here is the button I tested with:

Code: Select all

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


-1

You have to change the path in the WinRAR.exe line to your path.

To make the button:
1. Mark the text in the box here above (click SELECT ALL).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (press Ctrl+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste".

Thank you for the heads-up! it works great now
Your previously suggested parameter was exactly the same, so I was trying to compare to understand why it is working now.
In addition to WinRAR path "%PROGRAMFILES%/WinRAR/WinRAR.exe", I always used to add the "Start path: "%PROGRAMFILES%/WinRAR/
turn out it was the cause of the error.

I always thought the Start path should be added, but it seems that I was mistaken.
It would be great to know when it is appropriate to add the Start path and when it is not?

Well you have a double backslash "\\"

Try: a -ep1 -os -m5 -tl -ag"_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" "%P%B".rar %S

No, no need for this.
This line works perfectly in my button and the actual WinRAR 7.10 and TC 10.50b5
a -ep1 -os -m5 -tl -ag"_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" "%P\%B".rar %S

It creates the archive in the source folder as requested and adds date and time to the name.
One can omit the \ after %P as this is added by TC.
So this also works for me
a -ep1 -os -m5 -tl -ag"_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS" "%P%B".rar %S
