Program options dialog page "Archiving programs"

On this page you can configurate external archiving programs. With the help of this programs DFendX will be able to handle some other archive formats. (Support for the zip and 7z archiv files is already buildin.)

• Name of archiving program
  From this dropdown box you can select the program you want to configurate. Via the four buttons on the right of this box you can add, delete and sort the entries of this box.
• Programm filename
  In this input line you can enter the path and the filename of the external archiving program you want to use.
• File extensions to handle
  In this input line you can define which file type you want to be handled by the external archiving program. The filename extension in the line must be divided by ";" and must be entered without leading "*.". If you enter "ZIP" or "7Z" as supported formats for some external programs, DFendX will use this external program to extract and pack this archive formats instead of the internal functions.
• Commandline for extracting an archive file
  In this inputline you can define the commandline parameters to be used when calling the archiving program to extract an existing archive file. The placeholder "%1" will be replaced by the path and filename of the existing archive file and the placeholder "%2" will be replaced by the path name of the folder where the archive file should be extracted to.
• Commandline for creating an archive file
  In this inputline you can define the commandline parameters to be used when calling the archiving program to create a new archive file. The placeholder "%1" will be replaced by the path and filename of the new archive file and the placeholder "%2" will be replaced by the path name of the folder which should be packed into the archive file.
• Commandline for adding files / updating an archive file
  In this inputline you can define the commandline parameters to be used when calling the archiving program to update an existing archive file. The placeholder "%1" will be replaced by the path and filename of the archive file and the placeholder "%2" will be replaced by the path name of the folder which should be added to the archive file.
• Add trailing "" to path names.
  Defines whether the path names where the files to pack are located or where the archive file should be extracted to should include a trailing "" or not. (Some external packers like uha do not work correctly if the path name has a trailing "".)
