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 (*,$,etc…) for file selection/non-selection
e.g.: select *.log
select all except *.zip - automatically delete source file after compression
- select file older/younger than x days
- select x older/newest files
- delete file older than…
- going recursively into sub-directories… or not
All this would allow to easily maintain, compress, for instance, a log directory which do not compress results.
- use wildcard (*,$,etc…) for file selection/non-selection
-
Coomand line version (PACL) can do all that (although may need DOS batch files to do the deletions).

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.
