PackLevel property

Applies to

TVCLZip component

Declaration

property PackLevel: Integer;   Default = 6

Description

The PackLevel property determines how hard the compression algorighm will try to compress files.  This property can be given a value from 0 through 9.  A value of 0 is no compression at all (STORED) which is useful for adding things like other zip files (which will compress very little if any) to an archive.  A value of 1 will compress the fastest, but the compression ratio will be the lowest.  A value of 9 will compress the slowest, but the compression ratio will be the highest.

You may specify particular files that you do not want VCLZip to try to compress by adding their filespecs or wildcards to the NoCompressList.
