IDEA: zip all main sub-folders at once

(1/4) > >>

jity2:
Hello,

I am using the great freeware unziplify (http://www.silverbandsoftware.com/tabdown/unziplify/) in order to unzip with only one click all zipped folders inside any zip file contained into a main folder.
I would like to have a software which would do quite similarly the opposite!

Example:
I have this mainfolder :
c:\main_folder\

It contains several sub-folders (and each sub-folders contain many files and folders which don't need to be zipped separately) :
c:\main_folder\Aafolder
c:\main_folder\Abfolder
...
c:\main_folder\ZZfolder

I would like to just have to click on a context menu buton (right mouse click) on the folder "c:\main_folder\", so it will zip all the first sub-folders at once :
c:\main_folder\Aafolder.zip
c:\main_folder\Abfolder.zip
...
c:\main_folder\Zzfolder.zip


Note: I am using currently Powerarchiver as a zip program.

Thanks in advance for your help ;)

See ya
Jity
EDIT: The solution is in the bottom messages (use a free Autohotkey script and buy Winrar : see https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=4657.msg33048#msg33048)!

Try my very own Drag+Drop Robot:

The demo movie shows how to do (almost) exactly this:

ps. the still-in-progress program we are working on called "Context Menu Commander" would be ideal for adding such a conext-menu to your right-click options..

Hello Mouser,

Wow many thanks! ;) Alas I tried but I was unsuccessfull! ;(

I have tried with the command line program made by the powerarchiver team.
It is called PACL (pacl401.exe)

I add this in the command line :
C:\PACL\PACOMP.EXE -a -c1 -P -k "%2.zip" "%2"

and set "allow dropped folders"

I add my folder "C:\test\91" in the folder queue.

Press start.

The ouput says it is ok. But if I use the option "redirected", I have the error :
Archive: C:\test\91.zip
  preparing to compress...
   *** WARNING: Nothing to add or update...


I am enclosing their text file manual , I hope you can be better than myself on this one! ;)

Apparently even my basic line is wrong! :
C:\PACL\PACOMP.EXE -a "%2.zip" "%2"

I have also tried unsuccesfully :
C:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\POWERARC.EXE -a -r "%2.zip" "%2"

Thanks in advance,
Jity

you dont want %2 you want %A
