595 unpack zip files does not work properly with 7 zip pa...

[sdb]

it does not work properly to unpack zip files with XE with 7 zip packed files archives (zipped files in *.zip format with 7 zip).

maybe it could make sense to implement 7 zip as default or as an alternative zipper.

You can use an archiver plug-in (Settings - Archiver plugins).
I use Total7zip...

[sdb]

hmmm thanks for your answer.

and where can you download the 7 zip plug in (if it exists)? And whats the file name ?

When I packed the files for the 1 GB size zip I used the default settings in 7 zip. But unzip did not work in XE.

total7zip never heard of that. hmm is this the plug in 7 zip for totalcommander ?

----

I just selected the *.wcx file of total7zip in the zip settings.
when I try to unpack the files "Data load error appears".

Well, originally it's a plugin for TotalCommander, but you can use it in FreeCommander as well.
I found it at: http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/Total7zip.html

Succes

[sdb]

it does work. (1) You have to select the Total7Zip.wcx file and set it active, then
(2) extensions "zip.jar.war" must be written in the Extensions column (otherwise it won't work).

I forgot to write/supplement "zip.jar.war", that's the reason why it did not work first and a error message box appeared when unzip a file. I am glad to work with 7 zip because my files are packed with 7 zip normally.

update

XE seems to crash often when using the plug-in (it crashes all the time).

Open the file total7zip.template.xml and change the value for alwaysWait7zip from "0" to "1":
alwaysWait7zip="1"

[sdb]

true it does work. thanks for that.

Maybe it could make sense to implement both zip packers as default and you could choose between pkzip or 7 zip. or write a HOW TO somewhere. But probably there are copyright issues if 7 zip is implemented as default, I don't know. I had no idea what to change in which file.


Without changing and save the change in the .xml file, XE constantly crashes.

I agree, such a "minor" issues are very important.

There are more "minor" issues, I'll start a new topic for those.
