Well, it wasn't me.

Here is a song for Cliff (just to prove it wasn't me). I've no idea how to add a YouTube link so you'll have to take it as a URL

It is now 18.03 beta 03-04-2018

 

1st post updated.
That was a quick revision*Shock

 

Thanks for the info about the 18.03 beta.

Easy install which, unlike previous versions, respected my previous choices and this time didn't put back the context menu entry for CRC SHA. *Smile

 

Interesting and somewhat worrying article about 7_Zip on the AskWoody site. Thoughts about it would be appreciated

Is it time to give up on 7-Zip? @ AskWoody

 

Be careful about unzipping downloaded SFX(Self Extracting) stuff.
Make sure you trust the sender/poster.

 

Logitech uses the same outdated library in Setpoint and has not updated it since 2015.There are not that many alternatives, about 95% use 7-zip as a baseline, even security products use it and they do not even bother updating it, so you might be using 7-zip 16.00 or older and you might not even know about it.

 

LOL at one time it would have taken me ages also. I did a little at a time over the last month. Probably not as much as you have but it did take some time. I did like a folder a day here n there. *Smile

 

New Beta:

18.04 beta 2018-04-25
-------------------------
- The speed for LZMA/LZMA2 compressing was increased
by 8% for fastest/fast compression levels and
by 3% for normal/maximum compression levels.
- 7-Zip now shows Properties (Info) window and CRC/SHA results window
as "list view" window instead of "message box" window.
- Some improvements in zip, hfs and dmg code.
- Previous versions of 7-Zip could work incorrectly in "Large memory pages" mode in
Windows 10 because of some BUG with "Large Pages" in Windows 10.
Now 7-Zip doesn't use "Large Pages" on Windows 10 up to revision 1709 (16299).
- Some bugs were fixed.

 

Thanks!

Time to upgrade my 7-Zip portables. *Smile

 

Hi there

great tool
If you like working on something like a pet project then it's never finished !!!!! as you always can think of improvements / features etc etc/ It's not like developing something say for SHELL, IBM or MICROSOFT etc.

However I'm still using a version donkeys years old --does what I want every time.
I'll update to the new one finally I think though .

One suggestion I'd have for "The great Man" though is it seems a losing battle getting Ms to fix File explorer etc to handle long file names (directories + file names > approx 255 chars)-- if he could modify 7-zip to handle these then I'd ditch file explorer at a shot !!!.

Cheers
