Support for Wildcards

[jc_ryman]

I would like to see support for adding files in folders and subfolders just by using wildcards, i.e., "*.*" without having to actually select all the files.

You don't have to select all files - just select the folder itself.

That may be true. However, I would find it convenient to be able to specify "*.*" from within a given folder, and also request all subfolders from the menu, without having to select all files and folders explicitly. In fact, I cannot get that to work just now, as I have mentioned in another post. The feature I would like is available in another arrchiver which I have to use at work, and it is very convenient for me.

Sorry, you are talking about PACL v4.01 right?
If so, which "menu" are you referring to?

In PACL you can use wildcards:-
pacomp -a -w stuff.zip "c:\my stuff\*.*"

For all files
or
pacomp -a -w -r -p stuff.zip "c:\my stuff\*.*"

For files and subfolders.

No. I am talking about PowerArchiver v10.20.02, but your point about using PACL is well taken!

Ah.. Wrong Forum then

For your comfort - try enabling Advanced Add Window under Configuration / Miscellaneous.
Now you have a check for Store Folder and under Options you can include sub-folders.
