[WISH] 7zip build-in support

[Aleksio]

It would be nice to have the same built-in support for 7zip as it is for .rar,
since 7zip has better compression ratio, and i think a lot of rar-users are switching to 7zip

You know the 7zip-Packer-Plugin ?

He knows. But the wish is supported - the format is very popular nowadays. Unpacking should be possible without a plugin. It's even worth a place at the Options-Packer section.

I think a plugin is the best solution. The packer plugin supports file decryption/encryption.

The Swiss laws forbid the export of any encryption products.

I know

I frequently use zip/rar/7zip, and DiskDir.
What I want is at least one more option at "Pack files" dialog (which is shown on Alt+F5),
so I can use hotkeys to switch packers:
Alt+Z => zip,
Alt+R => rar,
Alt+7 => 7zip [WISH],
Alt+'-' => .lst (DiskDir).
Currently I need to make many hand movements to switch between 7zip and DiskDir
P.S. I'm keyboard maniac

You can help yourself with AutoHotkey if you are willing. If you need more help with this, post here.

If thats to much go with AHK

I've been using this for a while, now I can say it not convient enough.

This works only when another packer is selected by default (e.g. ZIP/RAR). If "->" is selected, then combobox does not become selected, and pressing '7' or 'L' does NOT switch to "7z" or "lst".

If "->" is selected, then combobox does not become selected, and pressing '7' or 'L' does NOT switch to "7z" or "lst".

If the combobox is already selected press 'ALT+-, then TAB, then 7'.

If the combobox is already selected press 'ALT+-, then TAB, then 7'.

Too long sequence , and I need to pay attention to what is selected (but I'm pressing keys very fast... ), so it would be nice to have 7zip as separate option.

[szlori]

From my point of view this is almost a "bug".
If the combobox gets the focus automatically on Alt+'-' when other packer is selected, then it should get the focus even when it is selected.
This small annoyance could be easily fixed by Mr. Ghisler.

I tested the TC on WinXP 64. After installing the 7zip and activated the shell integration, TC does not show the 7zip-contexmenu on holding the rightmousebutton.
