<![CDATA[Advanced batch archive creation options]]>Would be nice and usefull to be able to have more options when doing “batch archive creation”, for instance:

  • use wildcard (*,$,etc…) for file selection/non-selection
    e.g.: select *.log
    select all except *.zip
  • automatically delete source file after compression
  • select file older/younger than x days
  • select x older/newest files
  • delete file older than…
  • going recursively into sub-directories… or not

All this would allow to easily maintain, compress, for instance, a log directory which do not compress results.

Coomand line version (PACL) can do all that

My request/wish was of course a request for the GUI…:rolleyes:

BTW, unfortunately, command line suffers :( from the same big limitation than the GUI: “-r” works only if we use . as file selection. It is not possible to use wildcards (for instance “*.log”) and “-r”

I’m currently doing all this via script and command line, but aggregate all this in PA would be nice and easier.
