  ZipGenius X Development Log Diary – part 6: the command line module. </h1 > When we don't post anything for a long time, there is always somebody that ask if we are still active. Let's make it clear: if we spend our time writing blog posts, we cannot do development progress; therefore, if we don't write for a long time that means we're busy developing something for you. In a past blog post we wrote about the command line module which has always been a fundamental part of Z...

While ZipGenius 6 is well alive on the Web, ZipGenius X has shaped up and working fine in our internal builds. It's looking really promising because now it is a true Windows 11 application:...

ZipGenius Development Log – ep. 4

Posted on by admin
  ZipGenius Development Log – ep. 4 </h1 > Here is another update about ZipGenius X development. This time will focus on archive loading times and we've made ready a video for you on our YouTube Channel. One of weakest point of ZipGenius 6 was loading an archive with several thousands of files inside because the app uses to preload the entire content in order to make archive browsing smoother: while this was a good approach for archives with few files inside - no matter what...

  ZipGenius 6 runs in Windows 11 | ZipGenius 6 funziona in Windows 11 </h1 > Yes, that's ZipGenius 6 running in Windows 11. It works correctly but you couldn't find the context menu in File Explorer. Well, Microsoft has a new way to show custom entries in File Explorer's context menu and entries added by older applications were moved in a sub-menu called "Show more options...". We won't update that because ZipGenius 6 development ended some time ago in favor of ZipGenius X - wh...
