- @Contents
- $ #Archive support plugin#
- This FAR module performs transparent #archive# processing.
- Files in the archive are handled in the same manner as if they
- were in a folder: when you operate with the archive, FAR
- transforms your commands into the corresponding external
- archiver calls.
-
- ~Adding files to archive~@AddToArc@
-
- ~Extracting files from archive~@ExtrFromArc@
-
- ~Archive commands~@ArcCmd@
-
- ~Archive support configuration~@ArcCfg@
-
- ~Archiver command lines~@ArcSettings@
-
- @AddToArc
- $ #Adding files to archive#
- In this dialog you may choose the archiver, add or change
- command line switches (default switches may be defined using
- ~Archiver settings~@ArcSettings@ dialog), enter a password
- to encrypt files during archiving.
-
- Option #Delete files after archiving# forces the archiver to move
- rather than copy files.
-
- The #Save settings# choice saves the current archiver and switches
- for future usage.
-
- @ExtrFromArc
- $ #Extracting files from archive#
- In this dialog you may enter the path to extract files and set the
- password to decrypt archived files.
-
- Option #Extract without pathnames# forces extraction of all files
- to the same folder.
-
- To immediately extract selected archived files to the current folder
- you may also use #Alt-F6#.
-
- @ArcCmd
- $ #Archive commands#
- From this menu you can test archive, add an archive comment,
- convert an archive to SelF-eXtracting (SFX), try to recover a
- broken archive, protect an archive from damage or disable
- archive modifications.
-
- Notes:
-
- 1. To execute an archive management command you need to have
- the corresponding archiver tool. Archiver options may be changed
- in the ~Archiver settings~@ArcSettings@ dialog.
-
- 2. The whole set of archive management commands may only be
- used with RAR archives. Other archivers will support only a sub-set
- of these commands.
-
- @ArcCfg
- $ #Archive support configuration#
- In this dialog you may change following parameters:
-
- #The way of archivers# Do not hide archiver output,
- #output displaying# hide for view operation or hide always
-
- #Process Shift-F1# Add files to archives on Shift-F1.
- #command# You may wish to disable this option
- if you have another archive support plugin
- installed, which processes Shift-F1 command.
-
- #Description list# Names of files with descriptions of archived
- #names delimited# files.
- #with commas#
-
- #Read archive# Read descriptions of archived files
- #descriptions# when entering to an archive. This enables
- the viewing of descriptions but slows down
- archive reading.
-
- #Update archive# Update descriptions of archived files
- #descriptions# after adding to or deleting from an archive.
-
- @ArcSettings
- $ #Archiver command lines#
- In this dialog you may change external archiver command lines
- for different archive processing operations and mask, which will be
- used to select all files.
-
- The following variables may be used:
-
- %%A - Archive name.
-
- %%a - Short archive name.
-
- %%W - Temporary folder including the terminating slash.
-
- %%P - Password.
-
- %%R - Current archive folder.
-
- %%L - Filelist name. Filelist is the file containing names of files
- to be processed by the external archiver.
-
- %%l - Filelist with short file names.
-
- %%F - Names of one or more files to be processed. If all names
- cannot be placed in a single string, the archiver will be
- executed several times until all file names are exhausted.
- By default maximum total command length is 127, but you can
- specify it directly after %%F, for example %%F512.
- Variable %%F should be used only if the destination archiver
- does not support filelists.
-
- %%f - The name of a single file to process. The archiver will be
- executed several times until all file names are exhausted.
- This variable should be used only if the destination archiver
- does not support filelists or multiple file names on
- the command line.
-
- %%E<errorlevel> - maximum acceptable command errorlevel.
- For example, %%E2 indicates that errorlevels 0, 1 and 2
- are acceptable. This variable may be specified in any place
- of command. If it is absent, only errorlevel 0 is considered
- as successful.
-
- %%S - Place in the command line to insert additional switches,
- specified in the second string of "Add" dialog. If this
- variable is absent, switches are added to end of command
- line.
-
- Variable modifiers Q, q, S, M, N, *, W, P can be used to change
- file names format details:
-
- 'Q' - quote names with spaces;
- 'q' - quote all names;
- 'S' - use '/' instead of '\' in pathnames;
- 'M' - transfer folder names to archiver as 'foldername\*.*';
- 'N' - transfer folder names to archiver as 'foldername';
- '*' - use '*' mask to select all files. This modifier
- overrides "All files mask" parameter for single
- archiver command;
- 'W' - use name only, without path;
- 'P' - use path only, without name;
- 'A' - use ANSI encoding.
-
- These modifiers may be specified immediately after %%F, %%f, %%L
- or %%l variables without spaces. 'P' and 'A' also may be used with
- %%A and %%a. Several modifiers are allowed, for example %%LMN or
- %%F*QSN128 are valid. If neither 'M' nor 'N' modifier is specified,
- 'N' is assumed. If both 'M' and 'N' are specified, both 'foldername'
- and 'foldername\*.*' will be transferred to archiver.
-
- If a part of the external archiver command string is enclosed
- in { } braces, it will be added to the resulting string only
- if this part contains at least one, non-empty variable,
- from those described above.
-
- If an external archiver does not support a particular command,
- leave the corresponding string blank.
