I do have izarc installed , but I only have xpy default items in the context menu to cut down the clutter and xp default junk, I want to use udc commands with ks for izarc items. below is one I tried, but no dice.

"C:\programs\izarc\izarc.exe" -a test.zip-<curfolder> <items>

unfortunately, no. izarc doesn't recognize anything after the -a.

//IZArc code
   focus;
   $items= getinfo ("SelectedItemsPathNames",";");
   run """C:\programs\izarc\izarc.exe"" -a $items";

//IZArc code
focus;
$items= getinfo ("SelectedItemsPathNames",";");
run """C:\programs\izarc\izarc.exe"" -a $items";

yes, the code works. thx alot! how can I set the file name to automatically to the current date and time with -ad (silent mode) switch?

Use <date>

Use <date>

not sure I understand, where do I put <date> variable?

"C:\programs\izarc\izarc.exe" -a test.zip-<curfolder> <items>

//IZArc
        focus;
        $items= getinfo ("SelectedItemsPathNames",";");
        run """C:\programs\izarc\izarc.exe"" -a test_<date yymmdd>.zip $items";

jsc572 wrote:Hi, thanks for your help on izarc, I tried out 7zip last night and found it to be more intuitive, especially with the 7zip script you posted on the other thread, my questions though, is how can I modify that script to open 7zip archive window with all the options? since I usually compress multiple files, it's not really practical to set the zip file name to <curbase>, I want to be able to choose a different name to use. thx.

jsc572 wrote:you rock!

one more request though, I assume your script all zip/7z files with normal compression right? how about a script to call the native 7zip "add to archive..." window with all the options to change compression methods and etc...

  input $Archive, "Enter archive name", archive;
  openwith """C:\Program files\7-Zip\7zG.exe"" a -ad $Archive"

Thanks for confirming that you bought a XY lifetime license (and quit DO). Here is the code:

Code: Select all

  input $Archive, "Enter archive name", archive;
  openwith """C:\Program files\7-Zip\7zG.exe"" a -ad $Archive"

I am glad you are enjoying XY.
