Compressing files into multiple .zip archives with each .zip being independent

<< < (19/24) > >>

jtdc:
I installed spinzip on my winxpsp3 pc and when i used the following settings:

> scan subdirs
> 9 compression
> output mode by aprox. zip file size 20 megs

to zip a dir with many files and subs, spinzip pops up a window for each file it adds to the spanning zips to which i have to click ok for program continuation. if i don't click ok then it just waits indefinitely. This makes the process manual.

This behavior can't be right.

Also, i noticed that if any file is larger than the size limit set than the final zip file goes over the set limit.
if spinzip had an option that would allow it to skip such files and list them, spinzip could be be used more effectively for checking files on virustotal. Usually the large files are compressed files.

Definitely.  I must've compiled and uploaded the debug build when I attempted to add 7z support.  I'll fix it here in a minute.

Right...as mentioned previously, SpinZip does no sort of file sizing voodoo to try and make exact sized zips, hence, the word "approximate."   ;D

skwire:
Please redownload and try the new build.  Sorry about that and thanks for reporting it.  Rather embarrassing on my part.    :-[

jtdc:
Great, the new build works as it should...

Yes, i understand that the limit is approximate, but what about adding the option i mentioned ?
it would make the app great for virustotal use.

I am a coder and i could help coding that and other mods if you desire. Have you considered making the project open source (sourceforge.net) ?...

skwire:
If I understand you, you want something like:

[ ] Skip files larger than the set approximate size

Right?
