Works amazing might i suggest new features now

Thanks for the compliment.

- Making the priority of spinzip higher than izarcc and izarcc's lower so the spinzip window doesn't freeze.

Well, it's not really a matter of process priority.  Moreso, it's a matter of the main form waiting for the zipping process to finish.  I made some internal changes that should alleviate most (if not all) of this behaviour.

- Cancel button of process.

-ampedm (March 19, 2008, 04:43 AM)

Added.  From the changelog:

[Select]

19 Mar 2008 - v0.0.9.0

    * Changed up the code to make the main form more responsive while
      creating zips.  Thanks, ampedm.
     
    * The "Generate" button now turns into a "Cancel" button while zips
      are being created.  Also, all controls except this button are now
      disabled while zip creation is going on.  Thanks, ampedm.

New link for v0.0.9.0:  http://www.autohotke...p-setup-v0.0.9.0.exe

Please let me know how this version works out for you.  Thanks.

Nice Nice, it doesn't freeze anymore and i can cancel it. The file menu is also working so i can choose to exit.

Works pretty much perfectly, i don't know what else to add

Oh wait... how about minimizing to the system tray and removing the prog from the taskbar during generation of zip files? Bubbles would pop up saying "Compressing file [3/10] *SPACE* *NAME*" just throwing a thought out there... 

This might be a longshot but is it also possible to include a "comment file" ie txt etc... from a specific folder in EACH archive the program zips? I am saying its a longshot because that might not be supported by izarcc's command line.
I.e take "comment.txt" from C:/ while going through files in C:/myfiles and include it in every archive...

i found an error:

when i try to zip @ level 9 filter *.chm a file named "textbook_of_international_health__2nd_ed_0195132041.chm"

or

"Electrodiagnosis in Diseases of Nerve and Muscle - Principles and Practice.chm"

extra files mysteriously appear in the archive:

Hmmm...  Please provide the following information:

1) What input & output paths are you using?
2) Is the "Scan subdirectories too?" checkbox checked?
3) Which output mode are you using along with its settings.

Thanks.

E:\TODO-test, (copy 1)
No
Last output mode with extension

I found your program while looking for ones on google. I think the password feature is the only feature (besides comments... but thats IZARCCs fault ) that this program needs to be more unique than winrar.

I have tried the following to put files in separate archives:

Winrar - need to pay,
PeaZip - uses more than one instance - a dirty trick
TugZip - No other feature beside simple archiving.

So i am sure everyone including me would love to see the next release have password support & if you got time, maybe a file browser to pick and choose files (CTRL + click thing)  + other easy to implement features with the IZARCC tool...

- Eagerly waiting!!

I've already coded in password support but I'm hesitant to add file deletion support.  I'd really hate to screw that up, you know?  Though, on the other hand, if I delete to the recycle bin maybe it wouldn't be such a risk.  What are your thoughts on this?  The encryption idea will not be implemented since the IZarc command-line binary and the IZarc GUI version are the only things capable of opening those encrypted zips (I use the IZarc command-line binary as the backend for SpInZip). 

As for a file browser, I think that goes beyond the scope of this tool.  I've never intended for SpInZip to be anything close to a complete compression suite/app.  Like I mentioned before, SpInZip is nothing more than a fancy front-end for the IZarc command-line binary.  That being said, I do realise that Coding Snacks sometimes do take on a life of their own, hence, all the additional output options I've added to SpInZip.  I trust you can understand that.  =]

At any rate, here's v0.0.7.0 with the password support.  Please let me know how it works out for you.  Thanks.

Hi,
it is possible and if so what is the way to get the source code of the SpinZip ?

-backtomind (December 20, 2007, 06:49 AM)

I'm not interested in making the source available at this time.

skwire,

This app is awesome!  I do think the password/encryption option would be nice!

Hey, while we are adding awesome features, how about cleaning up the original file/s once they are zipped?

For example:  If I request each demo.log file to be zipped to demo.zip, once it is zipped - delete the original demo.log file!

-sm00ter (February 26, 2008, 08:42 AM)

Thanks for your kind words and apologies for the late reply.  Are you still interested in these additional features?
