7Zip Plugin Continued ...

[ghisler(Author)]

Maybe Explorer extensions? They are loaded on Alt+Enter, when showing the right click menu, or when using Ctrl+C Ctrl+V (copy+paste).

I've made a new build.

Changes:

Code: Select all

0.7.5.0: 2010-12-16
 - Build based on 7Zip 9.20 code
 - Unicode only version

Since this is an Unicode only version I've also compressed the distribution zip file with ZIP:LZMA in order to make sure that it will be only used on Total Commander 7.50 and higher.

Installer "zip" file can be downloaded from here.
Source code can be downloaded from here.

Enjoy.

Wouldn't Unicode methods support be enough to ensure TC 7.5 (and above) usage instead of some weird magic?

According to WCX reference:

Total Commander will call the Unicode functions on all NT-based systems (Windows NT, 2000, XP) if they are present. If not, or on Windows 9x/ME, Total Commander will call the Ansi functions.

I suppose you don't need ANSI calls at all.

Without the ANSI methods TC will not load the plugin, even though it will not use those functions.

I have implemented dummy ANSI functions, the LZMA zip file ensures that older TC versions will not even install the plugin.

I must confess that I haven't looked the documentation after a minimum required TC version capability.

Sometimes, when I want to uncompress a 7z archive crypted by me, I am not able to remember the password I gave it.
Could you add that :
- ask some password tip when I compress. E.g. if my password is "2512" I'd set "birthday" in the tip field because I was born on 25.12
- show that field tip filled with "birthday" when I want to uncompress. So I find at once my password, and I am alone to know it because nobody knows my birthday.

TIA

Hello, drac, it is great that you've continued this work. There ar some bugs/suggestions from Russian board:

1a. When user changes compression level or method in Compression group of cfg dialog, text of label 'Dictionary size:' changes from translated string to 'Dictionary size:' (e.g. when Russian language used) - only this label.

1b. Is it possible to translate string 'None found' in SFX combo box when no modules available?

2. Please return possibility to create encrypted SFX archives (that was disabled because there was no corresponding SFX modules - but currently such modules are available).

3. What about adding feature to create multi-volume archives (with and without SFX)? People say that there are SFX modules that support multi-volume archives.

Great work! I was waiting for this plugin a long time. You use external 7z.dll and everyone can easily update to a newer 7zip version for himself. No longer waiting for plugin update is needed. I have tried plugin a bit and have to say it is very stable here. No bugs so far. Also good: possibilty to open all archive types which are supported by 7zip. It's not only limited to *.7z files. So I can use it for *.iso files too.

Only 1 missing point: It's not possible to create encrypted archives. Can you add this possibility later?

Edit: I suppose texts "100=solid" and "101=Non-solid" are mixed up. Maybe "100=Non-solid" and "101=solid" is right.

German translation for 7zip v0.7.5.0 It is UUE encoded.

I don't see a 7z.dll anywhere in the plugin directory.

I think that Matthias030 has mistaken 7zip plugin with Total7Zip plugin which uses 7z.dll.

I think it's possible to add a metadata field into 7z archives.

I plan to add the 7zip plugin code to code.google.com in order to have a bug/feature tracker, source code control etc.

I hope I can start digging into the source code at the beginning of next year.

Hi MVV,

As I've said in a previous post, I'll have a more closer look at the source code next year.

I'll keep you guys posted!

What, if any, are the main differences between the 2? I have used this plugin (yours) for a while now.

Total7zip uses 7z.dll for opening archives and 7zG.exe to create/modify archives and it supports all the archive types 7-zip program supports (7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP, WIM ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DEB, DMG, FAT, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, VHD, WIM, XAR, Z).

7zip plugin uses the 7-zip source code and supports only 7z archives and it's self sufficient, no external components needed.

But yours handles SFX, too, doesn't it?
