Hi,
jZip is excellent and works like a charm. It's very light/simple and does the job. It's also very well integrated in Vista (design/interface). Here are the few things I'd like to see in 1.3:
- Option to modify the icon used for the archives in explorer. It's a real problem on Vista since the icon used is inherited from the handler and cannot be overwritten by a setup as in XP. Even with registry modifications I had a very hard time and finally had to hack the .exe and .dll from jzip to modify the icon resource. By the way the icon displayed in the tree view in jZip is not the same resource as the one used in windows explorer. One is using the icon in jzip.exe and the other in the dll. That is why I had to modify both (consistency).
- Customizable context menu in explorer: cascaded menu Y/N, icon display Y/N and add manually the menu items we want (add to ..., add to temp.zip, add to temp.7z, etc...). See TUGZip.
I have workarounds for these but it'd be nice to have them for real =)
Thanks for the hard work!
