ZIPX file extraction

Post by jcgriff2 »

Is there any way for Altap Salamander to open zipx compressed filrs?

ZIPX file 49,237 bytes - http://sysnative.com/BSOD2011/Feb8_2012_DLS.zipx

ZIP file 49,381 bytes (contains ZIPX file) - http://sysnative.com/BSOD2011/Feb8_2012_DLS.zipx.zip

Thank you. . .

I only know as much about ZIPX as I was able to read in about 10 seconds, but 7-zip is able to successfully extract (at the least) your sample.

So associate ZIPX with "7z" & give it a go.
Options | Configuration | Archivers -> Archives Associations in Panels => 7z; ZIPX

EDIT: I think there may be more ... moment ...

I'm not thinking straight so I'll just ramble ...

7zip plugin will not work.
Even with replacing the 7za.dll with the most recent beta.
Suppose the 7zip.spl also would need to be correct for the plugin alone to work.

So, then if you were to setup ZIPX as a new type.
And I was thinking you could assign that type to an arbitrary program, but it appears you cannot. You can only associate it with one of the listed types. So if you were to pick MS-DOS UC2 (you will RARELY see a UC2 archive anymore, well I happen to have some ;-)), then in External Archivers Location, set UC2 to ... & at that point I would typically pick 7z.exe (the command-line version of 7-zip), so C:\BIN\7z.exe ... & Pack command; A $(ArchiveFileName) $(ListFullName) & Unpack command; X $(ArchiveFileName) $(ListFullName)

but I've got something wrong ...

OK, you can add arbitrary compressors, you just have to first go to the Packers & Unpackers dialogs & add it there.

But I must still have something wrong.

Well in any case, 7-zip, command-line or GUI can open it.
Just need to get it to interface with Salamander.

That's it for now ...

Unfortunately it seems there is no ZIPX library:
