Anyway to ZIP selected folder, use zip -r "!.zip" "!". This way you cannot pack more folders into one archive.

How to add timestamp to zip archive?

Like: folder ==> zip into ==> folder-timestamp.zip

The gzip command won't recursively clamp a catalog into a solitary compress record, when utilizing the -r switch. Rather it will walk that registry structure and compress each one document that it finds into a different record.

That's not very helpful statement. What does it do? Any error message?
Did you check the Apply to directories option?

How to use custom command to zip a folder?

2014-08-19 10:56

I know how to zip a file with
zip -r "!?&File(&A):?archive.zip!" !&
and i know how to zip a folder with
zip -r "!?File(&A)：?archive.zip!" !& "!?Folder(&A)：?folder name!" !&
But is there a way to zip a select folder without typing any archive name or folder name?
e.g if i selected folder name abc once i rune the command it will create a zip file name abc.zip
