About "Tools / Delete Temporary Files..." I think the original requestor mentioned WinRAR's "Wipe temporary files", i.e. overwriting ALL THEIR CONTENTS with 0 bytes or random bytes before deleting the file. That makes sense if added/extracted files were sensitive to not unwillingly leak their contents to random places of the disk. It can be a problem on SSD, though, because of their wear-leveling algorithms (if you overwrite a file, it can actually not be overwritten in place, but the zero/random...
Maybe you can integrate the following solution to have the ability of ZSTD and LZ4 compression within .7z archives? https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd Thanks in advance!
It would be very helpful to be able to exclude files/folders when creating archives using GUI. For example, when archiving ad-hoc the entire "source" directory which contains many node.js projects, they all contain these dreaded "node_modules" directories with many gigabytes and millions of files deeply nested. They're not required to be archived, as they can be simply restored/reinstalled. Same for intermediate obj/ and bin/ folders in .NET projects. I'm sure there are many other legitimate uses...
Yeah, 2 things need to be improved with regard to the installer: it should offer the option to automatically exit any running KeePass in order to be able to install smoothly (and then restart it if it was running before), and do not ask for any options if it's an upgrade, simply reusing selections that were used for initial installation. That would make it so much simpler. Git for Windows is an excellent example of that approach.
That response didn't age well. Now ChaCha20+Poly1305 is in widespread use.
Yeah, tried to compress my "source" folder with million files in multiple "node_modules" directories, would greatly appreciate the exclude option in GUI where I could put node_modules and other bs I don't need in my archives. Hoping that you're the programming guy will understand this pain... Thanks in advance!
That works, thanks. It wasn't that easy to find this "group search" settings. For others who may stumble upon this - Right Click (or use Group menu), Edit Group, tab Properties, and the dropdown "Searching entries in this group" - set to Disabled. So I would modify my feature request - let the "Show Entries of Subgroups" list doesn't include entries in descending groups disabled for search, unless a user explicitly clicks on such a group. Thanks.
Ignore Recycle Bin when using "Show Entries of Subgroups"
