hi first of all cake3 project is the best thing on the net for .Net
developers that are programing a file archiving application...second I
thing the the lack of tar,bz2 and gzip support is a big problem since
these archives are very "popular" so i was wondering when are they
going to be supported with cake3?also it says that on the tar,bz2 and
gz are supported with Xacrett.dll and extract only but that is not
true...

also one more question...when i add files to a 7z file the progress
form shows but when i files to a zip file nothing shows...and also
progress forms for 7z and lha are different...can u pls give me some
code sample how can i handle the progress and i will write my own
progress form...

Thx

I forgot to add the extension to Xacrett handler, I will fix it but
please you can change the source and compile first.

in \Cmarc\XacrettBase.cs, line 86, add

retVal.Add(new ArchiveType(archiver, "tar", 0, true, true, false,
false, "/x"));
retVal.Add(new ArchiveType(archiver, "bz2", 0, true, true, false,
false, "/x"));
retVal.Add(new ArchiveType(archiver, "gz", 0, true, true, false,
false, "/x"));

this should fix this problem.

I haven't figured out how to support progress for Cmarc archives yet,
it have a way to register a window to receive message, but I dont know
how to work with it.

I have a list of projects using Cake component, if you like you can
send me a link to your project so I can link you.

tnx a lot I have compiled it and it works fine...btw are there any
more archives that are supported but not added such as gz,tar and bz2?

my project web site is http://www.sharparchiver.com/ .The site is
still in work but should be done in few days...my current version is
1.0 which can handle only zip files fully with #ziplib and some others
only extract with 7z.exe so it's nothing much but v2.0 which is using
cake3 is done and it is only matter of days that it will be uploaded
on internet and with cake3 i really think i can make something that
will be good and successful so tnx again for the great project and for
deciding to put it opensource...

also that progress thing is really important so i sugeste u figure it
out as soon as posible...

P.S if u have some banner i would be happy too link u as well if u
don't I'll just put a simple link,if u want of course...

but when i compress a folder that has subfolders the files in
subfolders are not compressed...so i was wondering is there some
option/command like include subfolders or will i have to do It it my
self?

I will link your site when your site is completed (I see a few broken
links =), I havent tried your software (have trouble installing from
Softpedia's mirror) but it seems to have a good clean interface, so
keep it up.
QZ do have a logo (http://home.quickzip.org/images/site/
smallLogo.png), but CAKE3 do not, you can choose to link my site via
text or logo.

Regarding the files in subfolders not compressed, please take a look
to your add list and make sure a "*" is at the end of the directory
adding. (e.g. c:\temp\*)
