IDEA: zip all main sub-folders at once
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
