I am trying to use Izarc2go as the default compression utility instead of 7-zip. I have made the changes to filetypes and can open them with izarc2go. I am unable to use it to compress files/folders.

Tried searching izarc website and it mentions that the command line parameter is -a Tried using that but still no success. Had installed the non-portable version as well and could notice that it uses -af and i tried using that as well, but even that is not working as i trust it works only if the izarcdll is registered.

Anybody who has managed to use izarc2go for compression, please try to provide some inputs.

Also would it be possible to have cascaded context menu with LiberKey's Key file association.

You need to install IZArc Command Line Add-On in LiberKey\Apps\IZArc2Go\App\IZArc2Go

For compress a folder
%APPS%\IZArc2Go\App\IZArc2Go\IZARCC.exe
-a "%1".zip "%1"

For extract a zip
%APPS%\IZArc2Go\App\IZArc2Go\IZARCE.exe
-d "%1"

I wanted a GUI so that I could select file type during compression itself, rather than passing "zip" as an argument.

Thanks for the solution. Not exactly, what I wanted but still very usable .

Hello nerdweed.

In addition to the LaurentXP suggestion, you can try this:

Open file associations configuration:
Select "Files Folder" type >> Advanced >> New >> Then search for "IZArc2GoLKL.exe"
Action name (for example) : Compress with IZArc2Go
Command line parameters: -a "%1\*.*"

Nota: the *.* wildcard is important for folders compression.

For files, same way with "All files" type then , -a "%1" as command line.

By this way, you will be prompted to choose an archive type.

Thanks skybird. The folder option works exactly as I was searching for. I had tried -a "%1\*" earlier and was unsuccessful. -a "%1\*.*" works like a charm.

The File compression works as well, with the only problem that it would create a compressed file for each file if multiple files are selected. I think there isn't any workaround for that as of now, because that involves copying the files to temporary folder, compressing it and then removing the folder.

I can live without that.

But the folder compression was what I needed badly. Thank you
