Peachy Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Nilson,I'd be interested in trying this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilson Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 Alright, let me upload it. That'll take like 30 mins, though. Darned dialup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilson Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 FWIW, you'll need to get 7-zip: http://www.7-zip.org/ to extract this build if it's not already installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Nilson,Very fast indeed. I'm running this on a Pentium III 733, Windows XP Pro. It loaded almost instantly. Just so people know where to get it, here's the link if you don't mind my posting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilson Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 I'm glad it's doing well for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Did notice one glitch though. Some extension installs fail with a Chrome error message. Some install fine. You're running an Alpha code I see. Any thoughts regarding whether it's the source or the build? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilson Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 I don't know. It's built from last night's trunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest genaldar Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Why 7z? I know it compresses a little more than zip but its so darn uncommon. Why not cab? It usually compresses pretty small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilson Posted October 12, 2003 Author Share Posted October 12, 2003 A lot of people use it on MozillaZine, and as you said it has good compression. A little size is a big difference on dialup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest genaldar Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Very true. I've used it in the past and thought it was ok. I just don't keep it around since you don't see it much. I probably would've kept it around but I hate having multiple zip tools. I wish one of the major zip programs would just allow you to add or update the dlls. If I could add uha and now 7z support to power archiver I would be very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilson Posted October 13, 2003 Author Share Posted October 13, 2003 Good things about 7-zip: * Highest compression ratio in new 7z format * 7-Zip is free software distributed under the GNU LGPL * Supported formats: 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB * For ZIP and GZIP formats 7-Zip provides compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip * Self-extracting capability for 7z format * Integration with Windows Shell * Powerful File Manager * Powerful command line version * Plugin for FAR Manager * Localizations for 40 languages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest genaldar Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I just ran a quick test and I must say I'm impressed. The 7z format at highest compression made that file only 5.62 megs. The cab I made was 6.51 megs. No speed improvement but hey a ~16% size improvement. There was also a slight improvement in the size of the zip file (8.25 versus 8.46 megs a 2.48% improvement) versus PA's. Tar compression of course sucked. But it was super fast .btw 7z even beat out uharc. Granted uharc isn't meant for general files it's amazing with big files (it turned a 800meg neverwinter nights folder into 160 megs, cab got it down to about 500 megs).Too bad I can't dump power archiver. I've backed up too many files using bh (less likely to corrupt than zip). I'll have to keep my eye on 7zip though.This is funny, it even can open an exe. I opened the install file for the Trend Micro Internet Security beta. Figured I should share that.One more thing to add (I dont' like to add a post if I'm the previous post). I went to power archiver's site and they'll be adding full support for 7z in a future version. Until they do I'll be keeping 7z around. Now if only they made it easier to update the compression dlls... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
