StoreVolumes property

Applies to

TVCLZip component

Declaration

property StoreVolumes: Boolean;

Description

The StoreVolumes property determines whether volume information is stored along with the filename within the zip file when files are zipped.  This is useful when making backups into a zip file when the files are from different volumes.  It will make it easier to restore files later, or to make new backup zip files based on the same zip file entries.  Volume information (i.e. C:\) will be saved if this property is set to True.  

IMPORTANT!!!: Setting this property to True will cause the resulting archive to NOT be PKZip compatible.  This is the only property which will have this effect. While VCLZip will be able to correctly unzip files that have volume information stored, other zip utilities and components most likely will have problems with it.  So, if you wish to maintain complete PKZip compatibility, please do not use this property!
