longpath

[ratay]

Hi Franco,
I'm not sure if I'm using the -longpath attribute on windows correctly
Well, it seems to me that when using it, only the first file / folder is added to the archive
e.g.:
d:\main\1file.txt
d:\main\2folder ...
d:\main\3folder ...
zpaqfranz.exe a test.zpaq d:\main -longpath

• only d:\main\1file.txt was added to the archive
  Without the -longpath attribute, the entire structure is added (1file.txt, 2folder ..., 3folder ...)

I need some more infos, please
This is a z:\main folder, with
1file.txt inside
2folder, with 1 file inside
3folder, with 1 file inside

3 .txt files

dir z:\main /s
 (...)
 Directory di z:\main

               1 File              7 byte

now

Can you please "zip" your test folder and attach here, for debug?
(of course NO relevant information inside files, only a test)

Thank you

I did other tests
and I think I have come up with something:

C:\Scripts>zpaqfranzhw a std1 d:\main  -debug >std1.log
C:\Scripts>zpaqfranzhw a std2 d:\main\ -debug >std2.log
C:\Scripts>zpaqfranzhw a std3 d:\main\* -debug >std3.log
C:\Scripts>zpaqfranzhw a long1 d:\main -debug -longpath >long1.log
C:\Scripts>zpaqfranzhw a long2 d:\main\ -debug -longpath >long2.log
C:\Scripts>zpaqfranzhw a long3 d:\main\* -debug -longpath >long3.log

You are right
To discriminate folders from non-folders you should DO not use \ or * on folders with -longpath

d:\main and not d:\mainSOMETHING

[ratay]

And how to deal with root folder ?
Neither D:\ nor D: seem to work (and this was the situation where I came up with it)
it also seems to me that the -not option has a problem with -longpath:

C:\Scripts>zpaqfranzhw a std4 d:\main -debug -not d:\main\2folder >std4.log
C:\Scripts>zpaqfranzhw a long4 d:\main -debug -longpath -not d:\main\2folder >long4.log

An update is needed.
Working in progress...

56_3c.zip
Please test the attached pre-release

[fcorbelli]

56_3d.zip
This should take care of UNC short and longpath too

\\franzk\z
\\franzk\z\*
\\franzk\z\*.*
\\franzk\z\thefolder

Please check and let me know if OK

[ratay]

I didn't find any defects
Everything looks fine

BTW
How is the work on the server edition going?
It looks very interesting
