Is it possible to squizz everything else except main programm icon in 7-zip container and force programm to use it and to write in it?
looking for your poins of view
best regards

But, I am, perharps, a little limited in English slang, so I didn't understand exactly what you mean. Would you please post some example of "squizzled program"? Thanks!

if you take a look on i.e xmplayer, youll see that there is possibility to play files directly from zip container - double profit - you have compressed files and addotionally you have whatever no of files as one icon (folder-like) - if we imagine that we could make portable program to read it's components form such zipped file (or better 7-zipped) we could gain additional space and achieve clear structure on pendrive - there would be only one exe file and one compressed i.e. bin folder]]> JackL Mon, 03 Dec 2007 08:08:42 +0100 http://www.winpenpack.com/main/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?14194 Re: 7-zip - best squizzing algorythm? http://www.winpenpack.com/main/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?14194 JackL Mon, 03 Dec 2007 08:24:09 +0100 http://www.winpenpack.com/main/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?14194 Re: 7-zip - best squizzing algorythm? http://www.winpenpack.com/main/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?14194 don't worry, is my limitation, not yours...
Your suggestion sounds very interesting, but I think would require a little work... For example, X-Launcher could uncompress the single X-Program you run, use it and, when closing, compress it back. This would allow users to store X-programs .ZIP files directly, without need to install them.
I think this could be a good idea for just for programs having few files. But I think also that it would be very difficult to perform for some programs, like X-OpeOffice, X-Gimp, etc.
Anyway, thank you for your suggestion! I will forward it to the author.
Best Regards

your idea is really good, in fact I've already thought something like that

For the incoming new version of X-Launcher, X-Launcher2, I've developed a new way to manage the registry keys. I've called it "X-Registry". That's a 7z archive where registry files (*.reg) are stored in, in a structure similar to the regedit's one.

E.G.: the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Audacity" will be saved in the reg file "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Audacity.reg" within the archive "x-registry.7z".

At the moment I've implemented this feature only for registry management and don't think to extend it for other staffs, but that's a good start point.

I'm going to release the first beta of XL2 most likely in January 2008, so, stay tuned

BTW: where are you from?

I have to say that I haven't expected such as nice call back on my (or your :] ) idea - sadly, I am not a coder but only let's say advanced hobbist so I'm really glad to add my modest contribution to the portability gratness :]
will I be too brave asking what d'you think about my other idea with media coder? :] if it would appear feassible, I guess it could be one of the flag "product" of wpp, fearly recognizable and very unique....
best regards
and kudos to wpp team

Well, if you want to store settings into a zipped archive, you have first to unzip it somewhere to let the program using these settings, and, obviously, and end of session you have to update the zipped archive.

I totally agree with him.

On the other hand, XL2 will be something close to a scripting language and that's mean you'll be able to "easily" perform compressing tasks using 7-Zip.]]> tittoproject Mon, 03 Dec 2007 12:29:20 +0100 http://www.winpenpack.com/main/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?14194
