Utility Apps Support

I've used PortableFileAssociator to associate 7-Zip as the default application for opening .zip files. I know this probably isn't supported, but it makes my life easier. Everytime I extract a zip file and exit the program, entries are left at HKCU\Software\7-zip. Again I know this was probably never intended, but does anybody know why this is happening?

Now, I understand that this is a touchy topic, and is considered "unsafe", but in this particular case I think it is warranted. Currently, whenever you change options in 7-zip portable (enabling context menu, file associations, etc) it treats it as though it was a desktop installation and so, if you HAVE a desktop installation already, it overwrites your local settings. Is there any way to add this into the launcher to backup the file associations and other options, then create file associations to the portable version?

can someone verify the link to sourceforge for me, please?

not sure if theres a propper filename in it?

i tried different mirrors but it gets stuck for some odd reason /;

https://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/7-Zip_Portable_4.57.paf.e...

to make sure i tried downloading the portable vlc from here and that worked fine

I have tried several times to download and install 7-Zip. Each time I receive a "file corrupt" error. Any ideas? Thanks.

I use 7-Zip, when I noticed that for Mac-On-A-Stick, I needed to extract a file for it to work. Unfortuanatly, it was in a bin file, which 7-Zip does not support. There are other programs that will do the job, but I am suggesting for the next release that .bin files are supported.

Hello!I intend to write the software requirement document on this project. I would like to know if there is somebody else who has already done it!When I finish I will upload it to this forum for comments, hopefully someone will find it useful.
Thank you in advance!!

If I change settings in 7-zip portable, after I close 7-zip portable, only clean original settings from registry, but not restore original settings for installed 7-zip on PC (not portable).

I use a command line to compress my portable apps file to an EXE. Upon running EXE to restore the files to another thumb drive my Thunderbird local the files are on the disk and the settings are showing correctly in the accounts but the Thunderbird tree view does not show them.

When I use the 7z interface everything works correctly. Any thoughts...

Command line
7ZA.EXE a -r D:\Test2\PortableApps.EXE *.* -WD:\Test2 -sfx7zCon.sfx

When do you think we'll see the 4.5x 7-zip portable?

Thanks,

7-zip actually makes a pretty good file manager. It shows all the files, including the desktop.ini things, and it let's you open them.
