ZIP Functions

#1 · February 5, 2021, 2:00 pm

I know there are several plugins out there that have ZIP features or other compressions. I've used them on occasion however it seems the only one I have at the moment is NeoToolBox. This is fine for creating a ZIP containing a single file. But I need to be able to add files to an existing ZIP.

Any suggestions?

Also, I do need it to be ZIP as this format is now native in windows. This will be very handy for utility and maintenance I one needs to look inside a ZIP file simply using File Explorer.

I have not tried to invoke Windows Powershell via the Run command ... and I am not sure if this native Windows facility is included in all versions of Windows 10 or only in the more recent versions ... but you might look into the command it offers ...

To work with zip archives there are tools (look, maybe something will work for you):

hpwUtility 2.16 (Hans-Peter Wickern)

Functions Library (Andrey Solodyankin)

NeoCompres 1.0.6 (David Esperalta)

@vadim

Thanks. Do you have a copy of NeoCompres?

Yes, of course. Attached.

An updated library of plugins is on my online course in the Resources section (only need to keep in mind that some plugins are translated into Russian, so it will be more convenient for you to replace them with the originals from another source): https://distant.orgpsiholog.ru/course/view.php?id=20
