Hide path to special folders

Hi I asked before but maybe you have forgotten so I’ll ask again.

Not sure how easy this is to do, but in the path bar (the grey bar) I would like it if when viewing a special folder (Desktop, My Documents, My Pictures etc that all the path before the folder is hidden.

Example:

C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Stephen\Eigene Dateien\Downloads

becomes:

Eigene Dateien\Downloads

or:

C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Stephen\Desktop

becomes:

Desktop

FYI when I use the Extract button there is no extra copying, it’s direct. Copying only happens when using drag and drop. MarcFou may have a problem I do not. Good luck with solving that, and if it’s something that could easily happen to others, please post cause and resolution. Thanks.

@davidsplash: this is true but the default is not to extract paths which is enoying as other archive programs extract them as default. it would be nice if a dialog opens up saying do you want to extract paths. Better for people who don’t useually use compression programs. I tried to install recently a program via the install option in pa and it started to work but the setup failed as it could not findthge paths. default is NOT no paths, of course! You probably selected it once and PA remembered that setting.

Nope, as much as I know none of the compression components have special support for A64’s or HT…

Am not sure whether PA has been designed to replace specialized tools, like the one you mentioned. Assume PA’s encryption will be sufficient in, by far, most cases. That aside, specialized tools, like Deslock have a different pricetag and may be less ‘userfriendly’. It is a bit like with ‘wiping’ data: one can use a 1 pass wiping, or follow complex schemes like DoD 5220.22-M, that are taking a century to wipe a 1TB drive. From what I have read, for the normal ‘day to day work’, a 1 pass wiping is sufficient, making it already extremely difficult (and expensive) to recover ‘wiped data’. see: http://www.anti-forensics.com/disk-wiping-one-pass-is-enough =

This configuration could be useful, but is probably too complex for an “Express Lite” tool. However, there have been rumours of a new PA backup utility coming - maybe enhanced filtering will be possible when that tool is available? In the meantime, two workarounds occur to me - Could you reorganise your environment to keep your source and object/bin directories completely seperate? This is what I did. Disable the “include subdirectories” and explicitly select the folders you want to back-up. As this is stored in a “script” (the pbs file), it only has to be configured once. I do this now to exclude temp or cache files etc.

One feature I would like to see: the ability to create a folder within an archive. Sometime an archive gets very large. The ability to create folders within it would make organizing the archive’s contents easier.
