It uses external ZipArchive library, which is statically linked +thus no additional system libraries are required. Both plugin and the library +are pretty stable for normal use at their current versions. + +Feature highlights: + * full read/write support for ZIP archives + * full support for Unix file and directory permissions + * password protection support (read/write) + +To be implemented: + * archive consistency testing (needs new VFS API) + * creating archives from scratch (needs new VFS API) + * compression level setting (needs new VFS API) + * multidisk archives + +The current VFS implementation in Tux Commander lacks some extended features +for both archiving and remote filesystems. This is one of the main goals for +the 0.6.x series. + + +Known issues: + - ZipArchive library won't compile under gcc v4.3.0 + - Modifying password protected archive might lead to data corruption + + + +For successful compilation you will need working gcc compiler and glib2 +library installed with development files. The ZipArchive library sources are +included, no external files are required. + +Compilation has been tested with gcc compiler v4.2.3 + |
