Is there a way to have 7Zip support in emelfm (or emelfm2) ? I have downloaded and installed the 7zip.dsl but it wont work (additonaly i cant run it manualy, since it misses some files)

I guess you meant p7zip.dsl?What do you mean by it won't work, that you can't run it manually, and that it is missing files? Anyways, add for emelfm, I think this should work

ok... when im starting the console via aterm as root and then type in "7z x filename.7z", the there is a failure that 7z is missing some file, i think under /usr/bin/... id ont remeber now the right filename, but i can have a look this evening when im back at my linux laptop... i will note then the error messages...with emelfm support i mean the same handling for 7z files like tar.gz and such archives. when i mark a *.7z file and hit enter or made adoubleclick, then the archive should be handled as a virtual directory.

you can configure emelfm's filename associations with /home/dsl/.emelfm/filetypes. You might need to refer to emelfm documentation for syntax, but i think it's label;extension;action

ok here are the error-message:after installation of p7zip.dsl, 7z is located under /usr/bin/7z. I can start this from any directory as user dsl at the commandline via "7z". then there is error like this:
my system is a debian style hd installed DSL 3.01 i have made this then again with the live cd and installed p7zip.dsl there. the same error occurs. the i made the directory via
after this i can start 7z via commandline (without any parameters), but for the first seconds there seems to be no action, after some seconds there are so much disk access, that i cant move the mouse, so that i have reseted the system... any ideas ? Posted by ^thehatsrule^ on Oct. 10 2006,13:21
I'm gonna guess that you're either out of memory or out of space of some sort or the download was corrupted (check md5sum)(I'm assuming you're referring to the extension in mydsl>system here). /usr/bin/7z should use /usr/lib/p7zip/7z. Since /usr/bin/7z is just a wrapper, it won't do anything if you copy it there... But since you're running a debian-style non-frugal hd install, you should consider using apt-get (or unc's?) (misc: actually this extension's been updated - just not posted yet, and is now using /opt - but you shouldn't get these results now anyways) Posted by bilbo_b on Oct. 10 2006,14:45
ok, i have downloaded the p7zip.dsl again via Windows2000, checked the md5sum via TotalCommander, the checksum is ok. this afternoon i install the p7zip.dsl on my linux laptop when im back at my hotel...i can post the result tomorrow... Posted by bilbo_b on Oct. 11 2006,06:44
ahhh the new one works perfectly, when i type on the console only "7z" it displays me all the parameters that i can pass to this little app, many thanks...i will try to use this in emelfm like the other unpack plugin, so that i can handle 7z archives like normal directorys |
