Utility Apps Support

7-Zip Portable still uses the Windows %TEMP% path for its working directory.
This complaint has appeared in this forum several times (eg. in 2008 and again 2010).

This looks like a serious privacy issue for a Portable App.
It runs the risk of leaving plaintext, uncompressed copies of your archived documents on the harddrive of any host machine you happen to plug in to.

I'd like to see an option to let the user set the temp path that 7-Zip Portable uses.

I'm not the developer/author of this application, so I take no credit for the work nor responsibility if anything that may happen to your system and/or data. I simply found it via a Google search and wanted to share it here since I've been a lurker around here for years.

I did see there was a post here asking how to change the 7zip icon, and this application will do just that. I believe it will work straight out the gate once you specify which install directory to point to. It works fine on my local install of 7zip on Windows 7.

Im trying to run multiple instances of Rocketdock. Here is what I'm trying to do. I have say 10 different utilities I like to run..things like system info, defrag, file wipe, file recover, etc.....in my main Rocketdock dock, I want to have an icon for 'Utilities', when I click it, I want a second dock to appear showing the individual utilities icons.

Can this be done?

it works for this version of 7-Zip made by PortableApps

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.

The folder ..\7-ZipPortable\App\7-Zip64\ contains a file named 7zip.chm

The file name should be 7-zip.chm to make help work on a 64bit PC.

what is the syntax to sync to a ftp server? I have tried
ftp://myftpsite.site.aplus.net/ (name changed) with and without a folder destination and it won't connect? any clues? this syntax works in a browser without problem, it keeps giving me a directory not found error in dsynchronize.

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.

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.

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/
