7-Zip: questions from a n00bguy

Submitted by naz1 on May 14, 2011 - 3:04am

hi guys,

i'm new with this portable apps stuff.

i just want to ask a few things.

how can i associate file types with 7zipportable, i tried it in the options menu but it won't. i've tried associating file types with another portable app from winpenpack, specifically, the x-mpchc, it just does it fine. but with 7zipportable it won't.

last, can we integrate 7zipportable to the shell context menu?

thank you.

[Fixed] 7-Zip 9 doesn't remember settings

Submitted by Bruce Pascoe on December 22, 2010 - 11:39pm

Just did a clean install of 7-Zip Portable 9.20, and now it won't remember any of my customizations after closing. Whenever I start it, it resets to its default settings. Not sure what happened, but this is definitely a regression as 7-Zip 4.x worked fine.

Operating system is Win7 Ultimate x64, with Platform 2.0b5.

How to get a 7-zip shell context menu

Submitted by nowotny on December 9, 2010 - 5:18am

Hello.

Disclaimer: I run PortableApps from HDD on all my computers and sync it with Dropbox. I do that because I like to have the apps with their settings in one, easily transferable folder. I do not carry it on a stick. So, if you're anything like me keep on reading. Wink

Problem: If you try to integrate the portable 7-zip with the shell context menu it'll throw the "Can't find 7-zip.dll" error message at you.

Solution:
1. Install a "normal" version of 7-zip from their site: http://www.7-zip.org/

7-Zip: Password option unclear

Submitted by wolfmondschein on August 30, 2010 - 5:40am

Can somebody please verify:

I made an encrypted Archive of my personal Data and stored it.

About 3 hours later I added new Data and told 7Zip to add them to my
Archive which was to my knowledge encrypted.

Then there was to my surprise no question for the password and after the new files have been added my archive was without encryption???

Do I have to encrypt the filenames?

Please could someone give me a clue!

Thx in advance Wolf

7-Zip: WebWasher blocks download

Submitted by cquoss on July 14, 2010 - 8:14am

Hello,

we have WebWasher installed in the corporate network. This blocks the download of the actual 7-zip file '7-ZipPortable_4.65_Rev_2.paf.exe' with the remark that the Microsoft Authenticode certificate has expired.

These certificates seem to last one year, the file on the server is from June 2009. Maybe thats the problem?

Could this be fixed?

TIA

Bye

Clemens
