[REQUEST]Comment lost after move file to archive

Post by *EasyCao »

When I use Pack file and move to archive option, File comment is lost, could you add some option allow me keep this comment and move it into archive?

Thanks a lots.

Very simple---

:) Hello !
- Of course, an option should be nice… But it's very simple to get the comments in the archive :
1. Configuration >> Options >> Display : tick the box “Show hidden/system files…
2. Select also the <descript.ion> hidden file in the folder from which you want to pack files…
• Personally, I change the attributes for these <descript.ion> files as <a> (archive only), they work the same… and I can assign an explicit and visible icon to the file-type…

:mrgreen: Kind regards,
Claude

Suppport.

Since TC supports this already for copy/move operations (TC even deletes the descript.ion if there is only one comment and you move) it should work as well with archive operations.

The problem with selecting the descript.ion file is that it copies the entire descript.ion file instead of just the relevant entries. When copying/moving, it only copies/moves the relevant entries.

:) Hello !
- Yes, indeed, the whole entries are in the file, but that doesn't matter, the comments work… and it's better than nothing ;)

Yes, it is better than nothing, but it is a workaround for a bug, not a fix.

Is there a reason why copying comments (descript.ion/files.bbs) with files to archives was not implemented?
I understand that for solid archives repacking changed descript.ion would increase archiving time alot sometimes, but what about not solid archives, or at least built-in ZIP?
