Zip_It 1.0

Post by walker »

Hi,

this is my first try in PureBasic. Its a small utility like WinZip ...
You can simply change the default language (german) at startup (just type en in the input-field (need restart of programm)
Features: :D
Handling of ZIP, RAR and CAB Archives
2 languages (English and German); expandable.... any volunteer?(see ToDO)
ZIP-files:
- Creating new archives
  • - Add /remove files
    - Extracting the whole archive or parts of it
    - Viewing Files with associated Windows-Programm
    - Starting Setup/Install if double-clicked (with extraction of all files for installation)
CAB and RAR:- all above exept creating an new archive, addding and removing files
- BUT converting into a ZIP-Archive is possible (original files won't be changed!)


Known issues: :cry:
  • - Extracting Files with more than one path - level will result in an empty directory
    workaround will come soon; it's a bug in th PBZip-lib... i think)
    - ReadOnly Files, i.e. on a CD, are copied to HD because of another bug in PBZip-Lib; so access
    to large Files on CD would take some time.....
    (at Archives on HD I currently remove the ReadOnly attribute....)
ToDo: :mrgreen:
  • - Drag 'n Drop
    - Email archive with standard mailer
    - complete the menus.....(for now all functions are reachable with the toolbar)
    - more translations... could someone help? (simply translate the "Common.catalog_de" or "Common.catalog_en"
    and rename it to (for example: if you translate it into french) "Common.catalog_fr". Now you can use the
    "fr" in Preferences-dialog (i know.. it isn't a real preferences-dialog ... but later on..) for french
    language
    writing the help... if anyone needs it
for all of you who fear anything :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Source and all bitmaps:

And for the others.....
http://home.arcor.de/x-linux/pure/zip_i ... _files.zip

Please give it a try... and bug-reports, suggestions or comments are welcome!

BTW... there are NO questions like "Are you sure..." or "Do you really..."

Please have a look at the credits :D (menu Help -> about)

Nice work!

Btw, i've used the ZipLib for many projects without any problems!

And most of them use subfolders :P

First... thank you!
Do we mean the same lib (coded by Apangly and NotAndor)?

In some cases the folders are created... but the files not... I don't know why (maby the source-packer is important... packed on Linux or Windows or Mac ...?)
If you add files to the archive (using Zip_It) including their path from the root; they'll be unpacked correctly :!: :!:
