zipind - From a folder, make a splitted ZIP with INDependent parts

• Free software: MIT license

• Documentation: https://zipind.readthedocs.io.

Features

• Compact folder to .zip or .rar, dividing it into independent parts, grouping your files in alphanumeric order.

• Preserve the ordering of folders and files.

• Preserve the internal structure of folders.

• If any file exceeds the defined maximum size, the specific file is splitted in dependent mode.

• Set the file types to be ignored in compression (config/ignore_extensions.txt)

• Verify that the file path length is less than the specified limit (default 250 characters).

• Sanitize the folder and file names characters to ensure compatibility with UTF-8 encoding, by auto-renaming.

Requirements

• To compress to Zip format, It is necessary to have 7Zip app installed and added in system variables

• To compress to Rar format, It is necessary to have Winrar app installed and added in system variables

Usage

Let’s zip a folder, with a maximum of 100MB per file, in zip mode and ignoring ‘ISO’ extension files.

Through python script importation

import zipind

path_folder = r'c://my_project'

zipind.run(path_folder, mode='zip', mb_perfile=100, mode='zip', ignore_extensions=['iso'])

Through terminal in chatbot-like style

$ zipind

Zipind will start by responding:

Paste the folder path to be compressed:

Now paste the folder path to be compressed:

Paste the folder path to be compressed: c://my_project

History

Tired of dealing with dependent-mode slicing folders and not finding applications to be able to slice folders in independent pieces, the 2020 tyrannical lock-down time was used to create the first version of this tool.
