7-zip support

07 August 2004, 12:15

Is it possible to support adf files in .7z archives one day? 7-zip is a very nice compression format, quite better than rar and I'd like to further reduce the amount of space my tosec archive occupies on my hd.

If there is library that has multi-archive support (zip,rar,7zip,etc..).

Does the LZMA SDK help? I didn't see a library but a small compressing/decompressing application and the source code is available.

7z's library only supports 7z-compression/decompression and I really don't want to add support for every possible compression algorithm one by one..

Done. All compression plugins included with 7-zip are now transparently supported. (7z, rar, bz2, arj etc.. unfortunately there is no lha/lzh plugin, at least not yet)

I am using http://sourceforge.net/projects/archiveaccess with some small modifications. (I originally tried 7z's own plugin API but it is impossible to understand...)

I am not yet sure how to distribute this.. Maybe separate package containing archiveaccess.dll + 7z plugins? (I am not going to include this with main WinUAE package. Yes, they are free but most users only need zip-support)

I think I also move all DLLs from WinUAE's main directory to plugins-directory. or something...
