'Total Commander zip command line

is there a command line command to use the Total Commander's pack/unpack function? I know how to use 7Zip and command line but I want to know if there is also a command line for zipping with Total Commander

Yes, actually there's tc command pair: cm_PackFiles and cm_unpackFiles (which, obviously, works only on tc commandline/box) against selected files on the current panel, try it..

In Total Commander, please navigate to Configuration -> Options -> Misc.

Create a command, for example:

  • Name: em_zip
  • Command: 7z
  • Parameters: a %N.7z %N

Now bind it to whatever you like and voila :)

I find this approach to be way more convenient than cm_PackFiles as you get no superfluous prompt - you just zip what's under the cursor into .7z archive of the same name. I use the same approach for unzipping as well.
