Unfortunately, I was unable to get this program to work like I wanted

I'll point you to CrazedProgrammer's version, Packager:
http://www.computerc...e__hl__compress

It ACTUALLY works - It has compression, and self extracting files
(No encryption though…)

Original Post:

Craft Compress

Description

This program allows you to turn a directory into a single file (and back again)

You can now make SELF EXTRACTING FILES!

Coming ~~soon~~ When I figure how to do it:
-Encryption
-Working Self-extracting files
-Actual compression

Download

Craft Compress 1.0:
Doesn't create self extracting files
http://pastebin.com/YbyvQDP6

Craft Compress 2.0:
Can ONLY make self extracting files
http://pastebin.com/JCCNWT8N

Type the following in a Computer (Any computer should be fine)


pastebin get <code> cc

cc stands for Craft Compress. You can change it, but the program assumes it is called cc.

How To Use

To compress a directory:


cc c <directory path> <destination path>

To decompress a file:
Version 1


cc u <file path> <destination path>

Version 2


<filename> <destination path>

Example:
I have a directory called 'secretStuff' with several files and directories inside it.


cc c secretStuff compressedSecretStuff

It would create a file called 'compressedSecretStuff' that I could then decompress if I wanted to.

Example 2:
I have a self extracting file named 'bob'


bob hi

It would create a directory called 'hi' from the files in 'bob'

Planned Features

- Encryption (Enter a password, and your files are encrypted before compression)
- ACTUAL compression (currently, the 'compressed' file is actually larger than the directory)
- UI
- ??? Leave your suggestions!

Bugs and Questions

If you find a bug, leave the error (If it had one) and a brief description of anything that you think is relevant
If you have any questions, feel free to ask

IMPORTANT NOTE (If you read this far)
There are some problems with self extracting files
It has to do with nested brackets []
I'm working on it…

Nice idea, although I'd recommend adding self-extracting archives.

This is awesome! Was looking for something like this, thanks :D/> Could you upload it to my app store? as I may use this in some programs for the app store if you don't mind? Thanks!

I don't have time to upload it myself, but you are welcome to use it in your app store :)/>

Haha almost forgot. Yes, it doesn't really compress the files, but I guess you could say that it's still a form of compression. Added to first post.

If you want encryption api you can use mine :D/>
Its not hard to break but it is historically accurate!

Enigma API!

Wow I was actually thinking about trying to make the Enigma in CC. Looks like you saved me some work there :P/>

I'm not sure how I'll encrypt it. I won't be adding it right away, so I'll have some time to think about it.

I've got a suggestion, compress files using Base64.

Base64 is not a method of compression. In fact, it increases file sizes by a third, by taking every three bytes and representing them using four characters. This is great if you need to transmit data using a protocol that only supports ASCII, but quite useless otherwise.

I suppose I may as well point out that I've made an API that can do base64 conversions, and can also compress/decompress data:

This would be great for project distribution (shameless plug: https://github.com/lupus590/Hive), would like to be able to have the resulting file extract itself before I use it though (as already suggested by awsumben13)

I didn't know that, I thought it actually became smaller when using Base64, well I guess I learned something new today, thanks for that! :D/>
