The only problem with that idea is that the drive spec is not passed to the event so you still don't know which is which - I am trying to find a way around that problem but it is almost impossible to keep it compatible with previous applications! - Russell Peters ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Aelbrecht" <Roger.Aelbrecht@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <delphizip@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 5:21 AM Subject: [delphizip] Re: Error: Bad Zip Option specified (from Poland) p_piter wrote: > Yes I know but I add to compress files/folders from a ListBox where > my files have full pathnames (C:\test.txt , D:\test.txt, C:\help.txt > and so on) .

This is how the dll's work However you could overcome your problem using the OnSetNewName event this is called for every file to be added to the archive, In the event handler you coudl change the filenames in something like c_test.txt; d_text.txt and so on. That way you get your drive spec in the filename and at the same time make your filenames unique HTH Roger Aelbrecht http://web.wanadoo.be/driehoeksw ----------- To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty e-mail message to: delphizip-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and put the word unsubscribe in the subject. ----------- To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty e-mail message to: delphizip-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and put the word unsubscribe in the subject.
