Hey, skwire, I guess adding it to SpinZip would work as long as I could drag-n-drop a handful of folders onto it and have it zip each dragged folder individually. Of course, I would prefer if it used RAR, but if that's not an option, ZIP works.-neptitude
Regarding RAR support in SpinZip, I would have added it long ago if not for the
license:
5. The RAR/WinRAR unlicensed trial version may be freely distributed,
with exceptions noted below, provided the distribution package is not
modified in any way.
a. No person or company may distribute separate parts of the package
with the exception of the UnRAR components, without written
permission of the copyright owner.
b. The RAR/WinRAR unlicensed trial version may not be distributed
inside of any other software package without written permission
of the copyright owner.
Meanwhile, while I was at the Skwire Empire, I downloaded Trout and I'm testing it out right now. I think I'm going to love it. Besides everything else, it's CPU usage is barely registering on Process Explorer. That's important to me as a web developer since I'm usually running Firefox, IE, Safari, Chrome and Opera when I'm building and they're all resource hogs. A lot of times, I have to work with no music at all since iTunes and even MediaMonkey use magnitudes more cycles than Trout. Working without music = Horrors!

Good to hear you're liking Trout; that one has been a fun project over the past year.
@Target: Thanks! It's not very obvious but, you're right! There is an option built-in to WinRAR which allows you to do what I need it to do. It's on the attached screenshot.
It even works, sort-of, from the right-click menu. When you select a bunch of folders (or files) then right-click and choose Add to archive..., when you switch to the Files tab, the files are pre-entered in the Files to add field. It's just a matter of checking the Put each file to separate archive box and it's doing exactly what I needed it to.

Grrr...now see? I've known, and used, this option in the past within WinRAR but I never realised that it would work with
folder names as well. Good to know for future use.
