Pack
Allows packing of the selected files with one of the packers pkZIP, ARJ, LHA, RAR, UC2 and ACE. Select the files and directories you want to pack and choose pack from the menu Files. When you press SHIFT while selecting this menu item, the files will be moved (packed and deleted).
This will open a Dialog box to select the packing parameters.
Important: In the dialog box you must now specify the name of the packer (zip, arj, lha, rar, uc2 or ace) with a colon [ : ] between packer and file name, otherwise the files will be copied!!!
Please note that most packers have an upper limit of 2 GB per archive.
Hint: To unpack the packed files, simply double click on an archive. This opens the archive and shows its contents. You can then copy the files to the desired directory.
CAB-files cannot be created!
In the 32-bit version, the pack/unpack (ZIP and external packers) and copy operations can be moved to the background by pressing the 'Background' button. This allows to do other things in Total Commander during the operation. You need to press F2 or CTRL+R to refresh the directory after a background operation completes. Otherwise modified files will not be shown.
