Pack: Create separate archives - omit file extension from archive name

Post by *Rekrul »

Currently, if you use the option to create separate archives for each file when packing them in archives, it will include each file's extension in the name of the archive. For example;

File1.txt
File2.txt
File3.txt

Will be packed to;

File1.txt.zip
File2.txt.zip
File3.txt.zip

I would like an option to omit the extension, so that you get;

File1.zip
File2.zip
File3.zip

Yes, I realize that this could potentially result in duplicate filenames. For example;

Game.exe
Game.txt

Would result in two archives named "Game.zip". For this, I have two suggestions;

If there are duplicate names, THEN include the extension in the archive name for the duplicate files, or, pack files with the same base name to the same archive. In other words, if only the extensions differ, pack them to the same archive.

Before anyone freaks out, I am suggesting that these be OPTIONS on the pack window, not that they be made the default. Here's how it might look;
