Some questions:
What commands Method1:? and Method2:? supported?
Works with SREP?
How to add files specific to a particular CAB file (Say has 10 files in a folder, I need to add files 3,5,3,6,9 to Data2.cab)?

[Razor12911]

method1 is the command and options e.g. a -ep1 -r -ed -xaudio
method2 is the compression method you want to use e.g. -mlzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8

srep works but if you tweak your arc.ini, will fix this problem though.

here is the freearc documentation
you can add them by using this method if you want to take the whole folder a -ep -r -ed

Folder has 10 files no problem, here is an example

FreeArcFile1={src}\Output\Data.cab;Source:Folder\3.File;Option:a -ep1;Method:-msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8
FreeArcFile2={src}\Output\Data.cab;Source:Folder\5.File;Option:a -ep1;Method:-msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8
FreeArcFile3={src}\Output\Data.cab;Source:Folder\6.File;Option:a -ep1;Method:-msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8
FreeArcFile4={src}\Output\Data.cab;Source:Folder\6.File;Option:a -ep1;Method:-msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8
FreeArcFile5={src}\Output\Data.cab;Source:Folder\9.File;Option:a -ep1;Method:-msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8

maintain same archive

[Razor12911]

Updated: Version 2
-Freearc Integrated in Converter (Thanks to LuisCésar82 for Idea)
-Srep and Precomp Compressors added
-Converter.ini Structure Changed, you might wanna check instruction again

[danswano]

Thanks razor, let's say i have 3 folders and they contain lots of files/folders inside
001, 002 and 003
how to add them in the ini?

maintain same archive

It makes no sense because in 2nd step freearc musts unpack data.cab to include new file. This new data.cab must be unpacked once again in 3rd step and so on. It will be better to use -n@ and -x@ option

BTW Conversion converter sounds like script scripter or game gamer

I know, the [email protected] and [email protected] but where to put it is the big question, I can't use -n@({src}/{tmp})\blah.lst, directory is kinda hard to tell.



ok, what are your program name suggestions?
Thee Converter? I'm not good at naming things.

[Razor12911]

Great News:

you can use -n and -x in next version, problem solved.
winrar and 7zip compression added also internal

can anyone give me the fileforums logo in png.

[danswano]

Thanks razor, let's say i have 3 folders and they contain lots of files/folders inside and i want to create a cab for each folder.
001, 002 and 003
how to add them in the ini?

[Razor12911]

the current converter doesn't support that feature, will publish v3 in 15 min.

[CompressingSettings]
NewFeature
7ZFile1={src}\Data.cab;Source:*;Option:a -r;Method:x=9
FreeArcFile1={src}\Output\Data.cab;Source:*;Option :a -ep1 -r -ed -p1234;Method:-msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8
RarFile1={src}\Output\Data.cab;Source:data2.bin;Op tion:a -ep1;Method:-m4

adding imgburn internally and adding function

[Cesar82]
