FreeArc

[Black_Fox]

i mean second one, although it's actually not used nor planned to be used - it's just a joke

It'd be a funny way to say use defaults

fixed translation:

[lunaris]

thank you, lunaris. two minor things:

0110 Normal=Normal

is it intentional?

0175 Compression profile:=perfil de compress?o:
0179 Encryption profile:=perfil de encripta??o

probably these should start with a capital letter as the left part, i.e.

0175 Compression profile:=Perfil de compress?o:
0179 Encryption profile:=Perfil de encripta??o



i think that i made wrong answer - actually i mean using it for dialogs like "Delete this file? Yes - No - May be"

No ,it 's not intentional. In portuguese "normal" is "normal".

Thanks for find errors.I will fix the the errors.

EDIT:Fixed

Hello everyone,

german translation -> done!
(five new strings in "messages")

Best regards!

[Bulat Ziganshin]

thanks to all!

Hello everyone,

nominated by me as "Best project" at Sf.net.
Why FreeArc and not xxx?
Because it's the real-life implementation of an archiver
- GUI + cmd-line
- OS-portable
- strong compression
- reasonable times
- lot of useful features besides
Who ever want to support my decision (Bulats efforts!):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freearc
who ever wants to nominate another project:
http://sourceforge.net/community/cca08/

Best regards!

I just nominated FreeArc as "best project", "best new project" and "most likely to change the world" (well, at least the world of compression... )

[Arkanosis]

Hello world

I've updated the French translation for the intermediate version.

Regards,

[Slider2k]

Wow, amazing work Bulat! Thanks for the great program.
Seems that the best archivers are made by Russians. Keep on good work!
I also nominated FreeArc for Best Project/Best New Project.

Hello everyone,

surfin' the endless web, I stumbled upon:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shown...ease_id=608694

Release Name: FreeArc 0.50 alpha (June 22 200

Notes:
Main changes in this version:
* GUI: WinArc executable renamed to FreeArc; a lot of usability improvements

* Linux: fixed archive navigation & Unicode filenames support
* SFX: support for non-English filenames; WinRAR-compatible options with help displayed by "/?"
* -sfx option by default adds GUI module freearc.sfx (instead of arc.sfx)

Still no files to download as of 20.37 MEST
Bulat...?

Best regards!

[Bulat Ziganshin]

ATM i'm uploading files. site was corrected when all these archives were building

[Vacon]

Hello everyone,

take your time, I'll get it this way or that
But one question might be allowed in the meantime: will it be possible to revers the process of making Sfx out of arc (meaning: exe -> arc)

edit: done! 21.31 MEST

Best regards!

it's supported both in GUI (and you've translated this option! ) -look at "Make EXE" options and via cmdline - command "s-" or options "-sfx-". actually, you may use RAR docs to forecast most of FreeArc command/option names

[Vacon]

Hello everyone,

@ Bulat: did you notice that FreeArc crashes if a file inside the "file-manager" is double-clicked?
I tried with "arc.ini" and "freearc.ini"
Start FreeArc.exe with double-click from CoolExplorer -> files are listed -> double-click on arc.ini -> bye-bye FreeArc...
Language set to "german", WinXP SP3, 512 MB RAM, AMD 1700+

Best regards!

Allthough... I believe I tried to...
I'll have another look!

[Bulat Ziganshin]

did you notice that FreeArc crashes if a file inside the "file-manager" is double-clicked?

yes, i know. you may click on archives/dirs, though

[Bulat Ziganshin]

Allthough... I believe I tried to...

you are right - it doesn't work. nor creation of gui sfx'es

you may edit this option manually, though - set it to "-sfx-" for NO SFX, and "-sfx" for Windows GUI sfx

[Vacon]

Hello everyone,

-> arc to Sfx works
-> Sfx to arc works NOT
_if_ you choose "Modify"
BTW: FreeArc complains about "Can't open Sfx-modul" (searching for winarc.sfx)

-sfx option by default adds GUI module freearc.sfx (instead of arc.sfx)

Best regards!

[Vacon]

Hello everyone,

thanks Bulat

Best regards!

[Bulat Ziganshin]

I was tired by all those packaging bugs and re-released program.

Download proper packages. Fixes are:

• GUI: ability to add Windows SFX and convert ARC back to EXE
• GUI SFX: proper displaying of filename extracted
• Console package was completely mis-packaged
• Linux SFXes was uncompressed

Thanks to everyone who've reported problems

[JangoFatXL]

Thank you Bulat

I love your archiver


By the way: Bulat you asked for tooltips...
I added some tooltips for the german users some months ago, but somehow the disappeared in the newer versions
I dont have the old versions of my translations, so we have to reinvent them again :P (otherwise I would translate them back to English...)
Maybe you (or Vacon?) have one of the older versions (from March or April, I dont remember...)

[Bulat Ziganshin]

I added some tooltips for the german users some months ago, but somehow the disappeared in the newer versions

i think that Vacon just edited February translation. recall how you have published your translation or sent it to me - i can scan my email, for example

[Vacon]

Hello everyone,

huh?
I can't remember I deleted any line!
I sure have the old versions at home, but right now I'm at work. So please be patient, or dig your own HDD

Best regards!

[Bulat Ziganshin]

look into http://www.haskell.org/bz/arc.german.txt and http://www.haskell.org/bz/arc.german-2.txt - may be that is that you need?

[JangoFatXL]

thx, these are the right files

[Vacon]

Hello everyone,

or here: http://encode.su/forums/index.php?ac...pic=599&page=7 (maybe previous)


Best regards!

[Bulat Ziganshin]

so, please join it with latest translation file and publish here - i will grab it

it will be especially great if you can provide new english tooltips - we will spread them into other languages

[JangoFatXL]

You can find the updated file (inlc german tooltips) in the appendix

I will translate the tooltips from german to english and post them here soon, please correct them if something isnt formulated 100%ly correct

[Bulat Ziganshin]

thank you, i will include it in the next build

a few notes for translators:

• language files should be in UTF-8 encoding; you can produce it using notepad.exe for example
• line separator should be CR+LF (so it can be further edited in notepad)
• GUI version should be called FreeArc, not WinArc

of course, i'm fixing problems as far as it's possible. if you don't have ability to use CR+LF line endings - just note this when you publish file or send it to me. converting from local encoding to UTF-8 isn't possible, though

i've updated the file according to these rules and uploaded it as http://www.haskell.org/bz/arc1.arc together with updated FreeArc.exe which fixes one small problem: incorrect handling of directories with "Compress each file into separate archive" enabled

[JangoFatXL]

here are the tooltips


=== Tooltips (index=N+1000) ===========================================

************************************************** ****************************************
*** DON'T FORGET THAT THIS SECTION SHOULD PROVIDE TOOLTIPS, NOT DIRECT TRANSLATIONS. ***
*** You may find some tooltips in arc.english.txt ***
************************************************** ****************************************

--Other
1072 Additional options:=Define additional options manually (for advanced users).

Compression
1113 Fast, low-memory decompression=Disables use of algorithms having slow or memory-hungry decompression. OTOH using this option makes compression slower and worse.
1176 Filetype auto-detection=When enabled, FreeArc analyzes contents of each file and selects optimal compression method for it. When disabled, compression algorithms are selected according to arc.groups.
1138 Bytes, no more than:=Defines max size of a solid block.
1139 Files, no more than:=Defines the number of files which one solid block is allowed to contain.
1140 Split by extension=Sorts the file on the basis of their extensions. (One solid block containes then max one filetype.)

Encryption
1120 Encrypt archive directory=Encrypts archive meta-information (names, sizes, CRS of files in archive), so one will need to enter password/keyfile even to open archive. It's highly recommended to enable this option to ensure real security of your data.
1123 Keyfile:=Activate to make use of a keyfile. Highly recommended, if you want to archive confidential data. Store the keyfile in a safe place!\n(You can use a keyfile AND a password at the same time.)
1125 Generate new keyfile=Create new keyfile with user-choosen name containing 1 kb of cryptographically-generated random data
1181 Use password=Activate to make use of a password. Store the password in a safe place!\n(You can use a keyfile AND a password at the same time.)

Add dialog
1183 Compression=You can define compression settings here.\nFor advanced options please change to the \"Compression\" tab.
1184 Encryption=enables or disables encryption.\nFor advanced options please change to the \"encryption\" tab.

-Protection
1185 Protection:=Appends information to archive (by default 1% of archive size), which allows to restore its contents in case of magnetic storage damages or transmission failures

1186 Comment=Here you can type in a comment.
1128 Test archive after operation=Tests archive after compression.
1122 Delete files successfully archived=Activate to delete archived files after a successfull compression process.
1187 Finalize archive=close archive permanently (no editing is possible)
1201 Compress each file into separate archive=Activate to create a separate archive for each file is being archived.
1202 Add to archive name=Appends additional info to the archive name (for example date and time)
1207 Delete previous archive contents=Warning! Prevous archive contents will be deleted permanently!
1208 Order of files in archive=Durch Aktivieren dieser Option kann bei geeigneter Sortiermethode die Kompressionsrate verbessert werden (h?ngt vom Dateityp der zu archivierenden Dateien ab).
1222 Include only files=Activate to define explicitly archive contents, for example *.txt
1223 Exclude files=Activate if you want to leave out certain files.
1227 Make EXE:=Activate to create a selfextracting EXE-file \n(FreeArc is not needed to be installed for extraction...)

[JangoFatXL]

I forgot: You can delete the following line in the german language file as it seems that you build in support for tooltips only for checkboxes.

"1179 Encryption profile:=Profilvoreinstellungen sichern ausw?hlen"

[Black_Fox]

OK, langfile updated according to Jango's example
