[WCX] ZPAQ

[fcorbelli]

Ahem... no mouse support, only keyboard

Ok, works.
I prefer Pakka

I am updating PAKKA with a brand-new zpaqfranz

This is actually a pre-version, not tested at all
Basically, by deleting zpaqlist (merged inside zpaqfranz's source now) PAKKA will 'inherit' all the new functions of zpaqfranz (at least, in the intentions)

If I find any users who report bugs to me, I can evolve it quickly, both in the extraction phase and in the creation of archives

In the last 10 years the feedback has been minimal, let's see in the next 10!

The "uncompressed" is... the uncompressed
Some antivirus does not like mpress AT ALL

EDIT: OK, I made an "autoupdater"

Here's the latest

The file is hosted on my personal site, should be safe

Thanks for the new version and the Updater.

I am finishing the ADS cacher of the file list
Essentially, when loading the list of files from an archive, it writes the relevant "deduplicated" list into an alternate data stream. The next time it opens, it loads that cache (if it exists).
For very large files, with thousands of versions, the time required goes from a few tens of seconds, even a minute, to two or three.
Having done that I will start to complete the various functions that I have only sketched out
After all, it is Delphi, which is much faster than C++ in development

After extracting a file it opens the Explorer in the target dir.
I would like to switch this off or make it optional.
It also uses a hard-coded Explorer call, bypassing the system-wide setting for opening folders
which is set to Total Commander in my case.

The newest Pakka version 2.42 is NOT useable.
Whatever zpaq archive I open it gives the error
LIST--- SOMETHING NOT OK ---

[fcorbelli]

Readed now
I'll fix tomorrow, thanks for report

No need
I only had to clear the cache to use the actual version

What is the zpaqfranz switch to exclude some dirs/files while adding new files ?
Currently, I use -715 -not path\*
I don't see any native mode exclude option ?

I extensively use the ZPAQ packer plugin.
It uses deduplication to save space and stores many versions of a tree into one archive.
Here are some of my supporting buttons.

List the versions of a ZPAQ archive using zpaqfranzhw.exe

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cmd.exe 
/k C:\Tools\ZPAQ\zpaqfranzhw.exe i %P%N
C:\Tools\Wincmd\Icons\ZPAQ.2.ico
ZPAQ List archived versions


-1

Extract a complete certain version into the target, using zpaqfranzhw.exe.
Askparam64.exe is used to query the version number to extract

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_PATH%\PLUGINS\AskParam64.exe
/c"Restore" /p"Until:" /w "c:\tools\zpaq\zpaqfranzhw.exe" x %P%N -until "%%1" -to "%T"
C:\Tools\Wincmd\Icons\ZPAQ.ico
ZPAQ Restore a version to target dir
