Pack multiple files (folders)

Post by *Eddict »

i have a folder containing multiple (date) subfolders like this;
\20130321\
\20130322\
\20130323\

i now select all those folders, press the Pack files button and tick 'Create separate archives...'

what this does is create multiple zip files in eg. C:\temp like this
C:\temp\20130321.zip
C:\temp\20130322.zip
C:\temp\20130323.zip

but what i like to have is this;
C:\temp\20130321\20130321.zip
C:\temp\20130322\20130322.zip
C:\temp\20130323\20130323.zip
so each zip file should also be placed in it's own subfolder (same name as zip itself)

so when i press the Pack files button and tick 'Create separate archives...'
the popup windows shows me this;
zip:c:\Temp\*.*.zip

can i amend this string anyhow to create the folder structure i want?

zip:c:\Temp\*.*\*.*.zip
or
zip:c:\Temp\*\*.*.zip
don't work :cry:

Sorry, you can't do that. But you can use the multi-rename tool after packing to move the files. Just put this in the name field:
