Duplicate "Compression Profile" names allowed
-
I found out (accidentally, I assure you) that PA allows more than one compression profile of a given name. Needless to say this can be confusing when you go to use one of them.
I was in there and copied/pasted one profile name, intending to change the name “ZIP (Save full paths)” to “ZIP (Save no paths)”. (Yeah, I’m lazy. That’s why I want a “Configuration” toolbar button"!) But I forgot to change the name, then later went to use the profile…
Now, I’m not saying this is bug “2 of 2”, but… Well let’s just say I’m hoping! :)
-
damn…I’m glad I keep things simple…:)
-
There’s nothing complicated about how I have it set up. I have two ZIP and two 7-ZIP profiles. I prefer to select profiles from a drop-down than to keep an eye on various settings, especially when those settings become the new default.
-
granted it probably is very useful to you but all my compression is always done via the context menu…it’s very rare I actually open PA in all it’s glory unless of course I’m examining archives.
I wonder if there is any way a 'NEW" Profile can be added to the context menu
or would that be something to perhaps wish for in a future release? -
i consider this an feature, not a bug… PA lets you name your profiles as you wish, no restrictions :).
There are real bugs you know, I have list, its big! :)

I use these compression profiles from the context menu as well. I’m not sure why every post I make becomes an indictment of me as a computer user.

Sorry, I thought this was a bug. Because you’re actually wrong; you can’t name profiles as you wish. I wanted to rename the default profiles, but could not. (Actually I wanted to delete them, but after finding I couldn’t, I tried renaming them.) In any case, it’s a real stretch trying to call the ability to have duplicate names a “feature”.

dont take it personally, people have opinions, thats just all :).
-
It didn’t make sense though; I access compression profiles via the context menu.

most people use default explorer shell options, and dont go into the options screen :). Thats probably what he meant… but thats why we are here and we take in mind that we have wide range of users that are using PA in different ways :P

seems to be some confusion here over MY post maybe?..methinks nameless has seen it as an attack on his original post when in actual fact I was just stipulating the fact that I use the context menu…I saw no mention of that in his original post which is why I aimed my wish at the context menu having the additional options.
do I now have to make sure my posts are politically correct people ?..or am I now labeled as ‘opinionated’ ?
it seems I will have to construct my replies more diligently so as not to offend anyone in future…sheesh!
and here was me thinking all I was doing was testing a piece of software.apologies ‘nameless’ if you thought I was making light of your post…it wasn’t my intention.
I was just airing my views and wishes on the topic in question.
