Sorry mate. I've been having some medical problems lately and haven't been able to do much of anything. When there's an update I'll be sure to make a note of it here.

Ah, fair enough. I perfectly understand, put your health before anything else.

Wish you the best with your health.

Hope you are doing better as of late.

Any chance you could private message me a link to the source (dropbox perhaps?) as I would love to take a look at it. Of course I have no intention of distributing it without permission.

i would love you to make the source code available for this

Any news on this? Looked really promising but having heard anything new.

Portable build?

And you really should rename the installer to something better than just setup.

on the official site it does not show this so i bet it's not a official build.

I am currently looking into the possibility of releasing the source code in case someone else would like to continue expanding upon the current feature set. I'll release more information as things progress.

I haven't had much time as of late to continue development. At the moment as things are, it meets my needs and use it nearly every day without problems. Having said that, there are features that have been asked for, including those asked for by yourself, for which haven't been a pressing issue unfortunately. Things like dual pane browsing, favorites, etc... I have though been wanting to add in things like recently used archives and the like so those feature may still be added at a future date in time.

A portable version is not available due to the Ribbon controls used. I'm currently in the process of switching from a 3rd party Ribbon control to a native Windows Ribbon control so it may be possible in the future. As for your second question / comment, most installers are named setup.exe so I fail to see the reasoning behind changing the name.

Who said that this was officially endorsed by 7zip. It's not branded branded as such other than being called 7zip for Windows 7 in the thread name. The official name of the application is 7zip Scenic - scenic coming from the official name of the Ribbon UI used by Microsoft. This is a personal project written by myself using the 7zip wrapper created Markhor for the .net framework. In essence, this is a frontend for the 7zip engine. You'll have to excuse me but I fail to see where anyone would assume or be confused by whether or not this is endorsed by 7zip.

All I request is content menu support like the official 7-Zip does. Its the only deal-breaker for me at this time.

Most downloadable installers are NOT named Setup.exe. Most installers on optical media, I would agree with you.

Second, if title something 7zip For Windows 7, most people would assume it's related to the REAL 7zip, for Windows 7 as opposed to Windows XP, for instance. If the official name is 7zip Scenic, then title your thread 7zip Scenic.

Third, they are comments and suggestions. You don't have to reply to them if you're going to come off arrogant and unwilling to thing about what they're saying.

I've gotten context-menus to work but there are still some things that are preventing me to push the update. The first being you need to use Run as Administrator - this flaw in this is that when you do the path to application changes because of the way ClickOnce works. It's really a pain in the and I should have looked into that earlier on. I may just need to scrap the ClickOnce updating and use some other method. I am looking into it though and I'm really hoping I'm able to get it working. I too would love to use context-menus to add files to zip things. This is the one thing that I'm disappointed about the release so far.
