Remove many files from Archive with one command
Hi!
I'm doing some tests with list files in PACOMP and the documentation about this says the following thing. Quote:
I have tried this: Quote:
Now I can remove one file at a time, but if the Archive is about 1 Gb in size, it will take a lot of time updating the archive after removing one file. It would be better if I could have a list of files that I wanted to remove from the archive. That way I could for example remove 10 files at one time and then update the archive instead of remove 1 file at a time and update the archive 10 times in total. If each update of the Archive takes approximate 5 min, then it would take about 50 min to remove 10 files from an Archive that is 1 Gb in size. If I could remove the 10 files at one time instead, then the whole update would take 5 min instead of 50 min. My question is this: Is it possible to remove more than one file at a time from an archive using PACL? If not, I'll put it in a Wishlist for future versions of PACL. Kind Regards Micke |
Try with PACL 6.02 and lets see what happens :)

Hi!
I have tested removing more than one file from a Archive by using a listfile. Here's the results from this test. Contents of Listfile.txt Code:
D:\PA_Test\IMG_01.jpgCode:
D:\PACL_Test>pacomp -a -P PACL_Test_P.zip @Listfile.txtCode:
D:\PACL_Test>paext -v PACL_Test_P.zipCode:
PA_Test\IMG_01.jpgCode:
D:\PACL_Test>pacomp -d PACL_Test_P.zip @Listfile_Del_P.txtCode:
D:\PACL_Test>paext -v PACL_Test_P.zipLet me know if I have missed something in these tests. I'm looking forward this functionality and will do more tests of it when you have updated PACL with it. Kind Regards Micke |

Hello!
I've tested removing files from an archive using a listfile, but it still doesn't work. Tested with PACL 7.00 RC1. Is this something that will be fixed in 7.00? Right now it's not possible to remove more than one file at a time from an archive using PACL. This is a big limitation of the program. Kind Regards Micke |
