[Fixed] 7-Zip: 4.65 Rev 2 doesn't want to change back to english

Submitted by Mark Sikkema on June 5, 2010 - 6:53pm

I was playing along changing my language(to test PidginPortable), and did run 7ZipPortable in Bulgarian once. After it never wanted to go back to English.

After going through the source and having a look in 'App\7-Zip\Lang' I come to the conclusion that it's a bug.

I do not know the exact reason why all the language files are *.txt file except for English (en.ttt), but this is equal in the original download from the 7Zip home page !
So there are 2 options to fix this, either,

7-Zip: One simple question, Is 7zG Module portable?

Submitted by Wooops_Phil on December 24, 2009 - 11:03pm

Hello, I just want to make sure if I can use 7zg.exe (that comes in 7-Zip Portable) with commands (like x "%1" -o*) in a standalone way / without leaving traces just like the 7Z.exe or 7za.exe modules.
The installed non portable version of 7-Zip uses 7zG for the extraction jobs (that´s why I wonder whether the one that comes in the portableapps package is standalone), though I don´t plan to use the normal commands that make use of -slp- -an -ai... that don´t work in a portable way, instead I just want to use commands like the one posted above.

I want to use my USB Flash drive to backup network files.
It looks like 7zip Portable wants to backup my USB Flash Drive onto a some other media (local, network or otherwise).
Can I Use 7zip Portable to Backup Network Files Onto a USB Flash Drive? If not, can you suggest some other open-source product?

7-Zip: Shell Context Menus

Submitted by kccameron on July 15, 2009 - 4:22pm

The Shell Context Menus work great. Flash drive not connected - no shortcut menu for 7-Zip. Connect the drive - now there's a shortcut menu.

However...
7-zip.dll is loaded as soon as you right-click something in Windows Explorer. That .dll stays loaded until you close that specific instance of Explorer. This prevents the flash drive from being removed safely until all Explorer windows that have seen a right-click have been closed.
