Add Microsoft SZDD CAB support

Hi, today I was modifying some nVidia driver files, but they seem to have SZDD compression. PowerArchiver is not able to open this files or even extract them.
I have no further information about this compression mechanism, however I do know I can extract those archives using Microsofts Expand tool.

I would like support for this compressiontype. Also other driver packages have sometimes SZDD compression.

Here some History

CAB History
In 1977, Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv devised and published a paper on their new compression method, LZ77. In 1982, James Storer and Thomas Szymarski released their LZSS variant. In the early 1980s, Microsoft required some form of data compression for their installation media to cut down on the number of disks needed to install MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows, so they took Haruhiko Okumura’s implementation of LZSS. Their compressed files had a SZDD signature.

Also a link with lots of information: http://www.kyz.uklinux.net/cabextract.php

This doesn’t seem to be working in 18.01.04 anymore? I just opened a zip file and the folder tree was collapsed again. Just to be clear, archive opens up in “Archive Mode”, I’m using “Explorer View”. I’d expect to get the result on the right side, but actually I see the tree collapsed as on the left side: I think it worked fine in 18.01.03

Okay, thanks for clarifying that for me. I’ll be eagerly awaiting this being added to the next version.

Hi, I would like to know if support for “Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage” is available also in the Pro version? This cloud service combined with server backups would be a very nice thing. Best regards!

TBGBe, thanks for the heads-up. Yes, it turns out you can create an archive and make it a self-extracting executable (SFX file), all at the same time, IF you use “SFX Wizard” button. You cannot do so by using the “Add Archive” button, nor can you do it from any of the Shell Extension options. I am glad that the SFX Wizard doesn’t only apply to existing archives, but can also be used to create an archive and make it a SFX file at the same time. However, I would still like to see this ability from the “Add Archive” process or as a Shell Extensions option. The benefit from being able to right/alternate-click on a file, group of files, or folder and create a new archive and make it a SFX file at the same time is obvious. However, why would one want to be able to create a SFX file from within the “Add Archive” process? One simple example is… You started to create a new archive and have named the archive as well and added all of the files/folders you want packaged in the archive. Now, you decide you want to create an SFX file. You don’t want to cancel the process you have already started, start the SFX Wizard and have to redo everything. You would like to be able to “turn on” or “toggle on” the SFX option and PA would automatically change the new archive name from NAME.ARE (where ARE is the archive extension… ZIP, 7Z, CAB, etc) to NAME.EXE. Of course, you could alter the path/name of the new file still and there would now be some SFX applicable options that would appear. If you change your mind again, you could “turn off” or “toggle off” the SFX option and PA would remember the archive type you had selected before (ZIP, 7Z, etc) and change the name of the new archive back to NAME.ARE accordingly. I hope that makes sense to everyone.

I’m positive the team will add this to the list. Things like this are fairly simple to do.

+1 I often use the backup tool and I just converted several zips to 7z. I was amazed how much better my backups were compressed. So of course I support this request and hope to see it in a future release.

Good idea because the SFX Maker is not supported anymore by ConeXware.
