Archive as single files with 7zip

[tisz0501]

In the settings I've enabled 'Archive as single files'. But this feature is only working for zip compression. Can you fix this please? I'm on Sierra. I'm using the context menu feature as well but both doesn't work. Moving to the Keka.app dock or create with context both is archiving individual.

Thank you.

Archive as single files makes a separated compressed file for any archives/folders you drop in. So if you drop hello.txt and bye.txt, you'll get hello.7z and bye.7z. If you uncheck this option, you'll get just one compressed file.7z containing both txts. Is that the case?

Also note that you have the temporary option in the advanced window, which only affects while Keka is onened:

And the global option in Preferences, that will be the default each time you call Keka:

That is not what I meant. I have already changed the global settings and enabled 'Archive as single files'. But when I'm trying to archive some files for example a few photo's and I compress them with 7zip than they are not archived as single files but all as individual. When I change the settings back to zip compression than archiving as single files is working. It seems a bug.

I don't really understand.

with 7zip than they are not archived as single files but all as individual

You mean each photo is compressed separately? Or all fotos become one 7z?

When I change the settings back to zip compression than archiving as single

You mean with 7z format it does not work as you expect and with Zip format it does?

All photo is compressed separatly and I want them to compress them as one 7zip file instead of photo1.7zip photo2.7ip etc.

@tisz0501, Archive as single files is just supposed to do that. Just disable this option (it comes disabled by default) if you want to get all files in one file, photos.7z in your case.

No it won't work. You can check it here: http://tinypic.com/r/348hgm0/9

Now I get it. This is a known bug in the context menu service: #4

You can add Keka to your dock and drag the files to it meanwhile. Sorry about the inconvenience.

That's the same bug mate. I tried that as well. Only zip compression and the others seems to work. No problem, thank you for creating such a great masterpiece. Much love for free software. Want to donate a small amount. Please let me know when the bug is solved.

In case you did not noticed, I've closed #4 since in next version 1.1.0 this bug is no more an issue. You can try the latest beta now, if you like 😊
