Suite 7-zip

Submitted by jeb5000 on December 11, 2006 - 10:20am

When I click on 7-zip in 'Portable Apps Menu' it tries to unzip 7-zip.
There appears to be a self extracting exe file that the menu sees. '7-ZipPortable' is in a sub folder in this first directory. Had to copy it to the PortableApps directory to get 7-zip portable to work. It was installed this way by the new suite download.

Directory structure was
PortableApps, 7ZipPortable, 7-ZipPortable, App/Data/Other

7-Zip: Certain settings won't 'stick'.

Submitted by jy87 on November 17, 2006 - 8:38am

Hello.
I don't know if it's just me or if I've missed anything, but the 'shell context menu' settings just won't 'stick'.

To be more specific, while the checkboxes in the Options menu stay ticked, they're not (really) doing what they're supposed to do. Sometimes they work, but only for a short while after I confirm the settings.

I checked all except the two 'email' options (Compress (to Archive) and email). And after awhile (I don't know how long), some options go missing. Specifically (if I'm not mistaken):

Extract files...
Extract to folder
Add to Archive

and even then, the remaining options usually only work a short while after confirming the settings. Right now, however, they won't work at all.

7-Zip: Issue when using USB flash memory

Submitted by elton on August 29, 2006 - 11:54pm

whenever i execute 7-zip for at least 1 time, i have problem in removing the USB flash drive from my winxp.. it always says failure in removing and i can only do a hard boot of the machine to get it.. (yeah i know i can simply pull it out without much harm, but i want to be 100% sure of no data loss..)

in 7-zip options, i have selected to associate all file extensions with 7-zip and "integrate 7-zip to shell menu"..

any hint on what the problem is?

TIA..
