• using 7-zip

    From Dallas Hinton@1:153/7715 to all on Sat Aug 4 10:18:56 2018
    Hi all!

    Could someone please point me at the way to make squish use 7-zip as an unpacker?

    Thanks!



    Cheers... Dallas

    Do you know where your Compress.Cfg file is? The changes will go in there.

    The Add, Extract, and View lines within the Archiver / End Archiver block will need to be changed.

    AFAIK, the detection bytes to determine if it is a zip file or not will stay the same... only the command line would change...

    I did that, like so:


    Archiver 7zip
    Extension ZIP
    Ident 0,504b030414 ; "PK^c^d20"
    Add 7z a %a %f
    Extract 7z e %a %f
    View pkzip -v %a
    End Archiver

    and made it the first entry in compress.cfg -- doesn't seem to be used, however.

    I must be missing something (what's new!)


    Cheers... Dallas

    Thanks mark - doesn't seem like I'm doing anything wrong in compress.cfg -- but
    I must be!

    will stay the same... only the command line would change...

    That was my thinking, too.

    One more thought... If you will be using 7zip to create the archives, you may have to change your "PACK" line in squish.cfg too. PACK ZIP --> PACK 7ZIP

    Is 7z.exe in your path or your Squish directory? If not, add the the path to the add, extract, and view lines.

    Yes, it's on path.

    Right -- I don't care about packing (at least, not at this point)...only about unpacking.
