        public static void ExtractFile(string sourceArchive, string destination)

For my ZipManager

Can you get 7-zip to print progress information?

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

I'm currently trying that and I think I can but then I'll need to get the informations from the console

Buddy•10mo ago

Reading from console is easy As long as you have something to write to console

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

it seems there is no progression information

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

do you think this is applicable to 7z files ? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26571057/extract-zipfile-using-c-sharp-with-progress-report

Buddy•10mo ago

7zip and zip are completely different formats

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

but ZipFile support .rar ?

Buddy•10mo ago

Afaik yes, but not 7z

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

but if I convert the 7z to a zip... ?

Buddy•10mo ago

Then sure?

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

I found nothing on internet to do that locally

Buddy•10mo ago

That'll work

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

Maybe I need to include LZMA SDK to my project and edit it to show progress https://7-zip.org/sdk.html

Buddy•10mo ago

Why not just zip it as a normal zip?

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

'cause it's on internet and the diff between zip (1.8Go) and 7z (600Mo) is incredible so it's better downloading with 7z

Buddy•10mo ago

I guess you can convert it? But that requires either using libraries or reading up on the format and do the conversion yourself

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

hummm

Buddy•10mo ago

https://github.com/adoconnection/SevenZipExtractor This does exist But it's fairly old

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

not very old 2 years for a zip format isn't old I think

Buddy•10mo ago

It might not come with a progress though

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

Hummm I'll check

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

I'm not alone 😄 https://github.com/adoconnection/SevenZipExtractor/issues/55

I already tried, and I can unzip LZMA2 files without problem. But how can I have a Progress?

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

I think I found then 😄 thanks :) @Citizen of Pluto I think it's no longer possible to get the progression

Buddy•10mo ago

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

oh thanks 😄 how can I import this into my project as a dependency? like a dll or something like that

Buddy•10mo ago

You compile it

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

how do I compile 😅 compile to which format* (exe, dll... ?) @Citizen of Pluto

Buddy•10mo ago

dll

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

do you have a tutorial or smth like that ? @Citizen of Pluto

Buddy•10mo ago

just type dotnet build --configuration Release in the console and when in the root directory of said project

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

okay it generated this

SevenZipExtractor.Tests -> C:\Users\paule\Downloads\SevenZipExtractor\SevenZipExtractor.Tests\bin\Release\net45\Seven
  ZipExtractor.Tests.dll
  Benchmark -> C:\Users\paule\Downloads\SevenZipExtractor\Benchmark\bin\Release\net47\Benchmark.exe
  Benchmark -> C:\Users\paule\Downloads\SevenZipExtractor\Benchmark\bin\Release\netcoreapp3.1\Benchmark.dll

SevenZipExtractor.Tests -> C:\Users\paule\Downloads\SevenZipExtractor\SevenZipExtractor.Tests\bin\Release\net45\Seven
  ZipExtractor.Tests.dll
  Benchmark -> C:\Users\paule\Downloads\SevenZipExtractor\Benchmark\bin\Release\net47\Benchmark.exe
  Benchmark -> C:\Users\paule\Downloads\SevenZipExtractor\Benchmark\bin\Release\netcoreapp3.1\Benchmark.dll

Which one should I use? @Citizen of Pluto

Buddy•10mo ago

type it when in SevenZipExtractor directory (not tests)

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

okay thanks oh okay I was in main I should use netstandard2.0 or net45?

Buddy•10mo ago

netstandard Depends on what SDK you use Do you use .NET (Core or Standard) or .NET Framework?

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

let me check... .NET Framework 4.7.2 so ?

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

net45

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

@Citizen of Pluto

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

netstandard 2.0

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

x64 and x86 contains the 7z's dll

jcotton42•10mo ago

@Paulem. @Citizen of Pluto this may be more viable

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

does it has the progression?

jcotton42•10mo ago

actually wait this might not wrap 7z.dll, but instead be it's own impl

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

no problem I just want to decompress with a progress bar

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

https://github.com/adamhathcock/sharpcompress?tab=readme-ov-file#todos-always-lots

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

oh it's good for 7z but is it for progress?

jcotton42•10mo ago

I'll admit I didn't look for that first may have jumped the gun 😅

Paulem.OP•10mo ago

I almost implemented the version with SevenZipExtractor if it works then I keep it
