hello, forum

please do you know which kind of (un-)packer is included in xplorer2-lite?
its a cool thing, you need no ending like rar, zip, etc.

thank you!

there are no packers included but xplorer2 can utilize the windows XP built in support for zip/cab files

i am using win2000 and there must be some packer in cluded, i think:
if you want to pack some files with xplorer2lite (menu: commands -> further information -> pack files) it recommends a file name (bundle) without any compression format! i used (bundle.) zip, rar, tar, 7z, ace, arj, bz2, jar, uue, md5, sfv). with the result of 100% errors.
i let it just be "bundle" without any dot-format, and unpack it with xplorer2lite indeed.

could be a nice tool to exchange some files, but the other end has to have xlorer2lite installed. :D
know i mean?

the "bundle" in the lite version is not meant for compression but for ADS. See the quickstart guide for more info

thank you, but could you tell me what is the format of compression?

there is no compression in Actions | ADS | Bundle to go. The command merely puts all the streams together in a single file (stream) so that streams can survive transportation to something like a USB stick. Only xplorer2 can understand the format to "unbundle" and restore the streams
